...Originally, the colour associated with Saint Patrick was blue. Over the years the colour green and its association with Saint Patrick's day grew. Green ribbons and shamrocks were worn in celebration of St Patrick's Day as early as the 17th century. He is said to have used the shamrock, a three-leaved plant, to explain the Holy Trinity...
AND SO A Happy St Patrick's Day 2011 MUCH LOVE...
May your neighbors respect you,
Troubles neglect you,
The angels protect you,
And Heaven accept you.
