St. Patrick’s Day

four leaf cloverHere at Fashionable Earth, we are a fan of anything which allows us to pinch people and get away with it ;) And, obviously a day devoted to the color green is great too!  Here are some fun facts about St. Patrick’s Day:

  • Green is associated with St. Patrick’s Day because it is the color of Spring.
  • The ancient Irish used to wear green to show their love for the harvest gods.
  • Shamrocks are the national flower of Ireland and are picked on St. Patrick’s Day and worn on the shoulder.
  • Leprechauns are the official shoe makers of the fairy kingdom.
  • It is considered lucky to find a four leaf clover on St. Patrick’s Day.
