Saint Patrick's Day

Saint Patrick's color was blue, not green, say historians. The hue- St. Patrick's blue, a lighter shade- can still be seen on ancient Irish flags 0and was used on 0armbands and flags by members of the Irish Citizen Army, whose 1916 Easter Rising attempted to end British rule. But the use of green on St. Patrick's Day began during the 1798 Irish Rebellion, when the clover became a symbol of nationalism and the "wearing of the green" on lapels became regular practice. The green soon spread to uniforms as well. That evolution, combined with the idea of Ireland's lush green fields, eventually made blue a thing of the past.

Leprechauns are traditionally associated with St. Patrick's Day.

It means the other leaves fell or were broken off

A 6-leaf clover means to some that you are luckier than if you had a 4-leaf clover. The 6-leaf clover, in actuality, is a rare leaf mutation.

Saint Patrick's father was a deacon named Calpurnius. His grandfather was a priest called Potitus from the settlement of Bannavern Taburniae. His grandfather had a small villa nearby where St. Patrick was taken captive around the age of 16.

Kick them in the face, and say, "I did not hit you, I merely high fived your face."

Don't quote me, but I think that they are a full ounce of pure silver. Therefore, they have a melting value equal to the market price for an ounce. I don't think that they have any value above that of the material, but I am no expert.

If you find out something better, please post it.

Although there are a few spells used to bring good luck it is more common to make and/or carry a talisman or amulet for the purpose.

Amulets are usually items such as jewelery or something already made that have been magically charged to bring a desired effect in this case, good luck. A lucky penny, a rabbits foot or a piece of jade.

A talisman is something constructed, carved, painted etc, using specific symbols on certain materials and magically charged using a "spell." For example a round dick of wood, carved or painted with an Egyptian scarab is very lucky.

The Shamrock is made up of three rounded-edges which makes it easily identifiable in any garden. The clover as on the Glasgow Celtic Football badge is made up of Four separate leaves. Okay, What does it mean!. The three parts of the Shamrock was used to represent the Holy Trinity of the Christian God. Each part of the Shamrock is used to signify a part of the trinity. The Holy Spirt, Jesus and God. Now, the Trinity is difficult for even the most learned of theologians. If I could give you my understanding of it, I would define it the same way St Patrick did in using the Shamrock to teach the druid/pagans of pre-Christian Ireland.

Because back in the day when Irish Catholics observed LENT in a more strict manor,...we abstained from a great many pleasures,...one of them being drinking not to mention gluttony, sex or gossip for that matter. However on Saint Patty's Day we were relieved of our obligation to abstain,...hence,...everyone overindulges resulting in drunkenness, fighting and eating huge meals like corned beef and cabbage.

Saint Patrick was a Christian missionary who brought Christianity to Ireland.

Saint Patrick's day begin in Ireland in the 9th and 10th centuries. It is celebrated around the world on March 17th.

absolutely nothing The 3 leafed clover was used by St patrick to teach the principles of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost (HOLY Trinity) to the uneducated peasents of Ireland, whom he was Converting to Cathiolisism... so I suppose in that respect the shamrock has to do with St Patrick rather then St. Patrick's Day

In Irish it's: Beannachtaí na Féile Pádraig ort (singular) / Beannachtaí na Féile Pádraig oraibh (plural)

St. Patrick would hold the shamrock up and ask the people that were listening to him if the shamrock was one leaf or three. They would reply it was both one leaf and three leaves. He explained it was the same with the Holy Trinity. God is one God in three persons. The Father, the Son, and The Holy Spirit.

The four leaf clover has nothing to do with the Irish. It is because people talk about the luck of the Irish that people assume its Irish. It is actually the normal 3 leaf clover that is Irish. St Patrick used it to represent the cross.

St. Patrick did not drive the saints out of Ireland because snakes have never lived in that country. The 'snakes' are symbolic for the pagan Druid gods that Patrick 'drove' out of Ireland by converting the people to Christianity

NOTHING! The holiday is about a man named Patrick who brought Christianity to Ireland. people tend to forget the holiday's true meaning and think of leprauchauns and pots of gold which is all a myth. If you want to know about Patrick look on the internet and type in the question "Why do you celebrate St. Patrick's day?" Most of it is true, but you have to learn more about how he brought the Christianity.

Green is the traditional color for St. Patrick's Day.

usually people wear something green. or they have a shamrock on somewhere
