What is behind the whole wearing green...

Here's a quote I found about it Taface: 'Probably because you'll be pinched if you don't! School children started this tradition. Green is also the color of spring, the shamrock and is connected with hope and nature.' And here's the link to the website that I found it on. It has all the info on St. Patrick and all things assciated with St. Paddy's Day that you'd want to know. www.funmunch.com/events/patricks/history.shtml Let us know if you win the million! LOL

I always just thought it was because it was a celebration of the "Emerald Isle". But since you asked, I looked it up. Apparently the Irish flag is green, for the Catholics, Orange, for the Protestants, and White in the middle to symbolize peace between the two. In Ireland, the Catholics wear green, but the Protostants wear Orange. I think I will wear Orange this Saint Pat's day and shake things up a bit.

well i am guessing because green is the color of the four left clover, and also it's the color i am guess most people wear in irlean spelled that wrong.
