Are you wearing green today?


St. Patrick's Day is a religious holiday celebrated internationally today! It is named after St. Patrick, the most commonly recognised of the patron saints of Ireland. The day is generally characterised by the attendance of church services, wearing of green attire (especially shamrocks), and the lifting of Lenten restrictions! Did you know that?

If you gave up something for Lent, feel free to indulge today!

St. Patrick is said to have used the shamrock to explain the Holy Trinity to the pagan Irish, and the wearing and display of shamrocks and shamrock-inspired designs have become a feature of the day!

So get in the spirit, and bust out your green and shamrocks! Consider turning a boring dinner GREEN tonight! Adding food coloring to milk, macaroni and cheese, pretty much anything would be fun! Enjoy!
