Photos from: South of the Boarder: St. Urho Day celebration in Whitlash, 2019




St. Urho totem in Finland, Minnesota. It would only seem natural that St. Urho's Day, made up by a Finnish immigrant in Minnesota, would be celebrated in Finland, Minnesota. Note that on this totem (in Finland, the town) St. Urho is pictured with a large mouth. The rural priest was said to have a very loud voice that allowed him to shout the grasshoppers out of Finland (the country), thus becoming the Patron Saint of Finnish Vineyard Workers.
