St. Urho is a fictional character celebrated in Finnish-American culture, particularly among the Finnish communities in the United States and Canada. He is said to have saved the grape crops from a plague of grasshoppers by using his powerful voice to scare them away. This legend is often humorously recounted during St. Urho's Day, which is celebrated on March 16th. The character of St. Urho is often depicted wearing a green and purple outfit, symbolizing the colors of grapes and vineyards. Celebrations typically include parades, music, and traditional Finnish foods, making it a festive occasion that honors both Finnish heritage and the whimsical nature of the legend.
