For those who want to get a head start on St. Patrick, today is the day to celebrate the legendary St. Urho.
From the wiki article:
The legend now states that St. Urho drove away grasshoppers (rather than frogs) from Finland using the incantation “Heinäsirkka, heinäsirkka, mene täältä helveteen!” (“Grasshopper, grasshopper, go from hence to Hell!”), thus saving the Finnish grape crops.
So, don your purple and green finery and enjoy the day!
ps: If you ever find yourself near Menahga, Minnesota, you can visit the impressive statue and even get a selfie with the photo stand up.
