Just a short trivia: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Patrick's_Day)
Originally, the colour associated with Saint Patrick was blue. Over the years the colour green and its association with Saint Patrick's day grew.[4] Green ribbons and shamrocks were worn in celebration of St Patrick's Day as early as the 17th century.[5] He is said to have used the shamrock, a three-leaved plant, to explain the Holy Trinity to the pagan Irish, and the wearing and display of shamrocks and shamrock-inspired designs have become a ubiquitous feature of the day.[6][7] In the 1798 rebellion, in hopes of making a political statement, Irish soldiers wore full green uniforms on 17 March in hopes of catching public attention.[4] The phrase "the wearing of the green", meaning to wear a shamrock on one's clothing, derives from a song of the same name.
How bout you guys, how do you celebrate St. Patrick's day? Do wear something green too?
Sweet Day to you All!
