Time For St. Urho!
by wjw on March 16, 2014
Since I seem to be concentrating on posts about Finnish matters these days, it’s worth reminding you that Sunday is St. Urho’s Day. I trust you will all be clad in green and purple, and prepared to drink up all the liquor before the Irish hit the bars on Monday.
And feel free, as you imbibe, to chant with St. Urho:
“Heinäsirkka, heinäsirkka, mene täältä hiiteen“
It’s never too late to save those wine grapes!
I wore my purple jacket and my Finnish friend put on St. Paddy’s day beads and we hit downtown St. Paul together. Bah, still not much going on there on a Sunday.
Oh well. The spirit was willing even if the crowds were weak . . .
