As the old Irish saying goes there is the Irish and those who wish they were.

St. Patrick's Day is right around the corner and come Thursday the seventeenth we will all be Irish. But why do we wear green? It has been said that blue was the first color connected with St. Patrick's Day. However Ireland's Tri Colored Flag features the color green. Ireland is also known as The Emerald Isle because of its deep green landscape. The color of spring is also green as are Shamrocks. It has also been said that wearing green would make us invisible to Leprechauns who would pinch any one who was not wearing green.
