St. Urho ~ March 16 ~ Celebrate St. Urho's Day!

St. Urho is a legendary patron saint of Finnish Vineyard workers. According to American legend, wild grapes were threatened by a plague of grasshoppers until St. Urho raised his staff and bellowed: "Grasshopper, Grasshopper, go away!". With these effective words he is credited for miraculously ridding Finland of grasshoppers and thereby saving the grapes. Each year, St. Urho's Day is celebrated on March 16 — the day before St. Patrick's Day.
