March 16 –
Today is the celebration of 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.
Please celebrate responsibly, (remember, tomorrow is St. Patrick’s Day.)
