As I've heard it, it's a Czech legend of 3 Kings who went out to fish on May 12th, 13th and 14th. Each got caught by a frost and froze on the water. On May 15th St. Zophie came out with kettle of boiling water and unfroze them. It's a warning not to plant before the threat of frost is over. It varies for regions, of course, but the Czech immigrants to Iowa (which is where I am) found a similar climate to their own and kept with that rule - don't plant tender plants before May 15th.
