Why are St. Patty’s Day Colors – GREEN?

St. Patrick’s Day is on March 17, 2022, and in honor of this day, we are celebrating the color – GREEN. Have you ever wondered by green is the color that represents St. Patty’s Day? It turns out there’s no one reason why green is the color of choice for the holiday. Rather, a handful of different reasons and lore combined and adapted over time resulting in St. Patrick’s Day being associated with the color green. Did you know that the original color of St. Patrick’s Day was blue? Green was adopted by the St. Patrick’s Day Festivities in the 18th century after the shamrock became Ireland’s national symbol. It also became green because of Ireland’s nickname as “The Emerald Isle.” The color also became a symbol of the rebellion of Ireland after the Irish people and the British monarchy divided.
