Why St Patrick’s Day Is Green
St. Patrick’s Day is associated with green because of Ireland’s nickname, The Emerald Isle, the lush green landscape, and its connection to Irish culture.
Green is also linked to St. Patrick, who is said to have used a shamrock to explain the concept of the Holy Trinity.
