That's right! Today is St. Patrick's Day! If you're getting ready to hit the Irish Pubs tonight, here is a little ammo for when the cops pull you over... Tell them these easy to remember, fun facts and they'll let you off the hook...If you're lucky ;)
- The very first St. Patrick's Day parade was not in Ireland. It was in Boston in 1737.
- In Chicago, on St. Patrick's Day, the rivers are dyed green.
- Many people wear green on this holiday to avoid being pinched. The actual color of St. Patrick is blue.
- Legend says that each leaf of the clover means something: the first is for hope, the second for faith, the third for love and the fourth for luck.
- As my good friend, Rose debates, in Irish beliefs, St. Patrick carried around a 3-leaf clover. It represented the Holy Trinity and the 3 phases of the moon.
