St. Urho’s Day
Mar 16
St. Urho’s Day, Patron saint of Finnish vineyard workers. Attributed to him is the miracle of banishing grasshoppers from Finland which he accomplished with a few choice Finnish phrases, thereby saving the season’s grape crop. But in reality a bunch of very drunk people made this up in 1956.
Crap, I totally forgot about St. Urho’s Day!
