Happy St. Patrick's Day

ST. PATRICK

Apostle of Ireland,

born at Kilpatrick, near Dumbarton,
 in Scotland, in the year 387;

died at Saul, Downpatrick, Ireland,

17 March, 493.

The green color and the shamrock represents and symbolizes Irish Christianity. It is the national colour of Ireland and everything goes green on St. Patrick's Day. St. Patrick is believed to have used the shamrock in teaching the Irish about the Holy Trinity.

Green is life, signifying growth, health, and environment.

Green is restful with cooling and calming attributes,

and good for the eyes.

Green is the national color of Ireland.

Green also heralds the onset of Spring.
