ST. URHO’S DAY

With his mighty voice he drove

The grasshoppers away;

All praise for St. Urho

Who saved the grapes this day.

Few people seem to have heard of St. Urho; I'm doing my best for him.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

That is good.

I learned something new today Marie. I had not heard of this Saint before. A great story, and your poem is a lovely tribute to him.

[Jimmy Yetts]

Cheers to Urho!
Always liked wine better than insects.

[Marie]

Winegrowers should certainly give thanks to this saint...

[Sheila Kline]

The grasshoppers were banished and the wine flowed! He was a hero.

[Marie]

Yes he certainly was.

Thanks for the link on your page for your ballads. I have bought the one you have listed and am looking forward to reading it. The page is very well done, and the story sounds really interesting! I have always enjoyed your stories!!

[Marie]

Thank you. I plan to add more ballads and stories as time permits.

March wasn't a great month for critters Marie, what with St. Urho stopping the grasshoppers from getting beverages and the very next day St. Patrick banished the snakes from Ireland ;)
I was inclined to look up Urho's story - quite a tale - thank you for posting this one Marie.
God Bless.

People tend to forget St. Urho; I try to remember him in verse every year.
