Newsletter – February 2012 Suomi-Koti Toronto Nursing Home Newsletter – February 2012 February, although an otherwise quiet month, is a month that’s rather full of significant dates in the Finnish almanac: Sunday Feb. 5 th is Candlemas (Kynttilänpäivä). This is a day of celebration and ritual with both pagan and religious roots. Amongst other things, it has been celebrated as the approximate halfway point between solstices and equinoxes, as Groundhog Day, (the American legend of the groundhog’s shadow predicting the length of winter) and also as “Candlemas”. Candlemas is part of the church calendar (usually celebrated on the Sunday between Feb 2-8) and is a day for blessing the candles that are to be used during the coming year. It is a day of light and purification for Christians, based on the Jewish tradition of mothers making a pilgrimage for purification on the fortieth day after the birth of a male child. Candlemas celebrates Mary’s pilgrimage and the candlelight represents the coming of light to the world through the birth of Jesus. Although we won’t be celebrating Candlemas on Sunday, it will be included as part of the afternoon program/discussion on Monday February 6 th . February 5 th is also J.L. Runeberg Day . Considered Finland’s national poet, it is said that his poems, which reflected on the beauty of the finnish landscape and the strength of the finnish personality, were an inspiration to the promoters of the Finnish Independence movement. Runeberg is the author of “Our Land” (Maamme), the first poem in the epic “Tales of Ensign Stal”, and the poem which became Finland’s national anthem. Monday February 6th is Saami National Day . 2004 was the first year when the Saami National Day was listed in the Finnish almanac by The Almanac Office at the University of Helsinki. The Saami are an indigenous people of northern Europe. The date sixth of February comes from the year 1917, when Saami People from Norway and Sweden had their first meeting together in Trondheim. The Saami received their own flag in 1986 and they have ten official flag-raising days. Source: The Almanac Office at University of Helsinki We will be recognizing Saami National Day (along with Candlemas and Runeberg Day) at our Monday afternoon program, 3pm.

  • Transnational Finnish Mobilities: Proceedings of Finnforum XI
    Johanna Leinonen and Auvo Kostiainen (Eds.) Johanna Leinonen and Auvo Kostiainen This volume is based on a selection of papers presented at Johanna Leinonen and Auvo Kostiainen (Eds.) the conference FinnForum XI: Transnational Finnish Mobili- ties, held in Turku, Finland, in 2016. The twelve chapters dis- cuss two key issues of our time, mobility and transnational- ism, from the perspective of Finnish migration. The volume is divided into four sections. Part I, Mobile Pasts, Finland and Beyond, brings forth how Finland’s past – often imagined TRANSNATIONAL as more sedentary than today’s mobile world – was molded by various short and long-distance mobilities that occurred FINNISH MOBILITIES: both voluntarily and involuntarily. In Part II, Transnational Influences across the Atlantic, the focus is on sociocultural PROCEEDINGS OF transnationalism of Finnish migrants in the early 20th cen- tury United States. Taken together, Parts I and II show how FINNFORUM XI mobility and transnationalism are not unique features of our FINNISH MOBILITIES TRANSNATIONAL time, as scholars tend to portray them. Even before modern communication technologies and modes of transportation, migrants moved back and forth and nurtured transnational ties in various ways. Part III, Making of Contemporary Finn- ish America, examines how Finnishness is understood and maintained in North America today, focusing on the con- cepts of symbolic ethnicity and virtual villages. Part IV, Con- temporary Finnish Mobilities, centers on Finns’ present-day emigration patterns, repatriation experiences, and citizen- ship practices, illustrating how, globally speaking, Finns are privileged in their ability to be mobile and exercise transna- tionalism. Not only is the ability to move spread very uneven- ly, so is the capability to upkeep transnational connections, be they sociocultural, economic, political, or purely symbol- ic.

  • Shrove Tuesday
    Shrove Tuesday (also known in Commonwealth countries as Pancake Tuesday or Pancake day) is the day in February or March immediately preceding Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent. Shrove Tuesday is celebrated in some countries by consuming pancakes. In others, especially those where it is called “Mardi Gras”, this is a carnival day and also the last day of "fat eating" or "gorging" before the fasting period of Lent. This moveable feast is determined by Easter. The expression "Shrove Tuesday" comes from the word shrive, meaning "absolve" for one's sins by way of Confession and doing penance. Shrove Tuesday is observed by many Christians, including Anglicans, Lutherans, Methodists, Roman Catholics and orthodox, who make a special point of self-examination, of considering what wrongs they need to repent, and what amendments of life or areas of spiritual growth they especially need to ask God's help in dealing with. The term “Mardi Gras” is French for "Fat Tuesday", referring to the practice of the last night of eating richer, fatty foods before the ritual fasting of the Lenten season, which begins on Ash Wednesday. It’s impossible to know when the tradition of marking the start of Lent began. Ecclesiastical Institutes (from around A.D. 1000) includes "In the week immediately before Lent everyone shall go to his confessor and confess his deeds and the confessor shall so shrive him as he then may hear by his deeds what he is to do [in the way of penance]". Some suggest that Pancake Tuesday was originally a pagan holiday.

  • Winter Festival to Washington by Thomas Vennum Jr
    Bringing a Winter Festival to Washington By Thomas Vennum Jr. By including a Finnish-American component in this year's Festival, the Smithsonian Institution Folklife Program reaffirms its commitment to plans specially developed for the 1976 Bicentennial Festival. The program, called "Old Ways in the New World," was intended to dispel much of the "melting pot" notion of American culture by showing that many traditions brought from the Old World have tenaciously survived and developed in their new setting. When immigrant groups arrived here, the "Old Ways" of cooking, singing, dancing, building, and playing they brought with them were often their only means of maintaining cultural identity. Eventually the descendants of many of these ethnic groups, by retaining these practices, have developed a pride in their heritage. Often they choose a particular day, such as a patron saint's feast day, to celebrate their ethnicity. Such an annual occasion becomes a real "homecoming," when distant family or community members return to their roots, eating traditional foods with foreign names and joining in Old World dances to the accompaniment of music and instruments from outside the mainstream of American popular culture. While ethnic festivals in the United States are numerous, scholarly focus has centered mostly on urban celebrations sponsored by the larger immigrant groups, such as Italians or Irish. By contrast, Laskiainen is a rural winter festival quietly sustained by one of the smallest immigrant groups, the Finns. It was first celebrated as a Shrove Tuesday festival in the early 1500s during the advent of the Reformation in Finland. As with Mardi Gras and other well known Shrovetide celebrations.

The FACA board members will supply hernekeittoa (pea soup). We ask our members to bring a dish to share, but this is not required. Here is what to bring, by last name: A-F: bread G-K: appetizer or side dish L-R: salad S-Z: dessert The winner of the 2015 Sauna Bucket Award will be announced. This annual award honors a FACA member who has made a significant contribution to FACA and the Twin Cities Finnish community. Laskiainen originated in pre-Christian times, its customs arising from layers of history and many regions of Finland. Laskiainen (“sliding down”) began as a flax festival. Much folklore evolved around the growing of flax and the spinning of linen. With the coming of Christianity to Finland,Laskiainen was incorporated into Shrove Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent. Laskiainen marked the beginning of the season of light and the time to begin weaving. Since spinning was forbidden during Lent, the spinning wheels had to be cleaned and put away as an indicator that spinning was over for that winter. In anticipation of spring, thoughts turned to the planting of crops. The farther your toboggan flew through the snow on Laskiainen, the taller your flax would grow and the longer your woven linens would be. There were rhymes to shout while sledding, calling Program In Brief for long linens (also special cries for peas, cabbages, potatoes, turnips and rutabagas).

    March/ Maaliskuu 2018 Music with Eric Peltoniemi For our March program, Eric Peltoniemi will share songs and anecdotes about his long music career as singer, songwriter, guitarist, lyricist and composer for the music theater, and Grammy-winning record producer and record label executive. Early on, inspired by his heritage and his Finnish-speaking friends and relatives, he included Finnish songs in his act. His love for music began in the 1960s in the small town of Wadena when, as a teenager, he began performing on his grandma’s old guitar at county fairs, dances, township halls— and even boxing matches! He spent several years performing, across the United States, Canada and northern Europe, solo and with bands Trova, Suomi Orkesteri and Trova Ystavineen. His original songs have been recorded by numerous American and Finnish folk artists including Robin and Linda Williams, Claudia Schmidt, Finland’s popular Topi Saha, as well as folk band Rahamäen Pojat. His song “Punaine” became a centerpiece in the acclaimed 2017 Finnish/Estonian film Ikitie/The Eternal Road . Eric also performs the song in the film. Eric has written music and lyrics for numerous musical plays, including the award-winning regional hits Ten November and Plain Hearts . Recently he collaborated with playwright Peter Glazer on Heart of Spain , a musical of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade in the Spanish Civil War, underwritten with an endowment from the Opera-Music Theater Program of The National Endowment for the Arts. Program in Brief All are welcome. Coffee (kahvi aika) and conversation will follow. Music with Eric Peltoniemi Friday, March 16, 7 p.m.
