St. Urho's Day
Feb 16th, 2018, 4:35pm
 
from a shopper ...
 
"St. Urho's Day - It is a Finnish Holiday celebrated on March 16th (the day before St. Patrick's Day) as the day the fictional St. Urho chased the grasshoppers from Finland.  I was hoping to find one in the Finnish language.  The legend of St. Urho says he chased the grasshoppers out of ancient Finland, thus saving the grape crop and the jobs of Finnish vineyard workers. He did this by uttering the phrase: Heinäsirkka, heinäsirkka, mene täältä hiiteen (roughly translated: Grasshopper, grasshopper, go to Hell!). His feast is celebrated by wearing the colors Royal Purple and Nile Green. St. Urho is nearly always represented with grapes and grasshoppers as part of the picture.    Maybe you can consider designing some."
 
The shopper will find these cards here:
Holidays >> St. Urho's Day  
>> General
>> Non-English / Other Languages
>> Other
 
A couple of reminders for foreign language cards:  include an english translation in the Artist's Notes field and for inside verses only use supported characters.
