Today we celebrate the Lutheran Patron Saint of Finland. We remember him for chasing the grasshoppers out of Finland and saving the grapes so wine could be produced.
(Truth: This is a holiday created by a couple of Finnish-Americans, living in Finland, Minnesota, who wanted another day to drink before St Paddy's Day.) There will be a festival in Finland, at the bar, where the beer will be purple in honor of the beloved St Urho.

Happy St Urho's Day!
