Happy #StUrhosDay to all those who celebrate! For those who don't know, according to legend, St. Urho was a hero who saved the vineyards in Finland from a plague of grasshoppers. He supposedly stood on a hill and shouted, "Grasshoppers, go away!" and the insects immediately left the vineyards, sparing the crops. In this version of events, Urho’s actions ensured a bountiful harvest of grapes, and he became a symbol of good fortune for the Finnish people. St. Urho's Day was created as a humorous and satirical counterpoint to St. Patrick’s Day, which celebrates Irish culture. The holiday was likely invented by Finnish immigrants in the United States during the 1950s or 1960s. It was never meant to be taken seriously and was designed as a way for Finnish-Americans to celebrate their heritage in a lighthearted way. St. Urho's Day is celebrated every year in Butte, America at the Helsinki Bar and Yacht Club, the only remaining Finn Town building in uptown Butte. #HappyStUrhosDay #HistoryofButte
