The Wearing O' The Green |
|
The
official color is green, but clovers (Shamrocks) and Leprechauns
are traditionally associated with St. Patrick's Day
Here are some ideas on
why green has been associated with St. Patrick's Day.
- The
song by the title "The Wearing of The Green" was written
by a Dubliner, Dion Boucicault (1820-1890). After America's revolution,
the Irish thought it was time for their own independence. The
color green became a symbol of sympathy for Irish independence
and the British actually began executing persons found wearing
anything green.
- The song
Wearing of the Green was made because Irish people would burn
the color red because they hated England so British soldiers would
shoot people wearing the color green.
- "The
wearing of the green" refers to the Irish green plaid on
kilts and other items of clothing. The English considered this
a sign of active nationalism or separatism and, in the eighteenth
and nineteenth centuries, methods of stopping that were simple.
The attitude was, "If you are wearing the green, you are
siding with the troublemakers, disturbing the equilibrium of our
landowners and governors, ie., you are a terrorist and shall be
dealt with".
- "The
Wearing of the Green" were written to relate the British
practice of hanging any Irishman/woman who wore green in a patriotic
manner during a certain Irish rebellion.

The History of St. Patrick's Day |
|
St. Patrick's Day
is celebrated on March 17, this religious feast day and the anniversary
of St. Patrick's death in the fifth century. The Irish have observed
this day as a religious holiday for thousands of years. On St. Patrick's
Day, which falls during the Christian season of Lent, Irish families
would traditionally attend church in the morning and celebrate in
the afternoon. Lenten prohibitions against the consumption of meat
were waived and people would dance, drink, and feast—on the
traditional meal of Irish bacon and cabbage.

Leprechauns |
|
Leprechauns are called
fairy cobblers, for they make shoes for elves (but always one shoe,
never a pair). They are seen by humans and are described as merry
little fellows gaily dressed in old-fashioned clothes; green, with
a red cap, leather apron, and buckled shoes.
Leprechauns who live
in farmhouses or wine cellars. They are known to aid humans and
perform small labors for them. The average height of a Leprechaun
is two feet tall.
According to popular
belief, a leprechaun possesses a treasure (usually a pot of gold)
which a human may obtain if he succeeds in capturing one, which
is extremely difficult. Even after capture, a person may not take
his eyes off of him for an instant, for then he will vanish. Leprechauns
are mainly found in Irish folklore.
