Kalevala Day - where's the Sampo?

The Defence of the Sampo by Gallen-Kallela

Tänään on Kalevalan Päivä, jolloin vietetään Suomen Kultturista. Eläköön Sinivalkoinen ja Olutta!

Today is Finland's Kalevala Day, when the great national epic is celebrated all over Finland. The best way to do this is with some sahti, the traditional cottage ale flavoured with juniper and then some Blackfriar!

Slàinte ja Kippis!

PS The Sampo is the great prize in the tale of the Kalevala, which gives health, wealth and happiness to the Finns.
