Happy St. Patty's Day!!

I've always wondered why we wear green on this day so I looked it up and this is what I found on wiki:

Originally the colour associated with Saint Patrick was blue. However, over the years the colour green and its association with Saint Patrick's day grew. Green ribbons and shamrocks were worn in celebration of St Patrick's Day as early as the 17th century. Saint Patrick is said to have used the shamrock (a three-leaved plant) to explain the Holy Trinity to the pre-Christian Irish. Then in the 1798 rebellion in hopes of making a political statement Irish soldiers wore full green uniforms on 17 March in hopes of catching attention with their unusual fashion gimmick. The phrase "the wearing of the green", meaning to wear a shamrock on one's clothing, derives from the song of the same name.

I hope you all have a green filled day!!
