**St Urho’sDay is celebrated on March 16th , the day prior to the better known feast of some minor saint from Ireland, who was alleged to have driven the snakes from that island. 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.

We really must look closer next time!
But maybe he just looked like that
There’s a statue of Brunel in Bristol that makes him look out of proportion but apparently he really did have a huge head compared to his body

I think St Patrick must have a better publicity agent than St Urhos and it doesn’t seem quite fair, he sounds like a great saint
Maybe it’s because there’s traditionally more alcohol involved in St Patrick’s day?
