Parades
Wearing, Drinking and Going Green
Did you know the blue was originally the official color of St. Patrick's Day? Eventually green gained dominance. Ireland is known as The Emerald Isle, after all. There is also the green shamrock, a symbol used by St. Patrick, the holiday's namesake, to represent the Holy Trinity. Green is now reflected in the clothing worn on March 17, the beer and food consumed, and even the waters of the Chicago River.

What is your favorite St. Paddy's Day tradition? However you celebrate, I leave you with this Irish blessing:
May you always have
Walls for the winds,
A roof for the rain,
Tea beside the fire,
Laughter to cheer you,
Those you love near you,
And all your heart might desire!
