To protest for their ancestors. St. Patrick brought Christianity to Ireland and tried to drive the Pagans and their way of life out. Just like many other places.....

Well, at least where I am, we wear some sort of green (and whoever doesn't gets pinched.) It's not a holiday when it's a day off of school or work. But the younger children play St. Patrick's Day games at their school, and their parents might dye some food green, like green milk in their cereal.

Do you wear yellow on St. Patrick's Day?

You may wear any color you wish on St. Patrick's but the customary color would be green. There are still some people who believe that to wear yellow or orange (particularity the latter) on St. Patrick's Day is an insult to all Irish people, but that view is dying out with each succeeding generation. It had to do with William of Orange being though of as a villain by all Irish people.
