About this st patricks day word search
- March 17 is traditionally the day Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, died in the fifth century. Legend says he used the three-leaf shamrock to explain the Holy Trinity.
- New York City's St. Patrick's Day parade dates to 1762, older than the United States itself, and Chicago has dyed its river green every year since 1962.
- Blue was the color first associated with Saint Patrick; green took over later through the shamrock and Ireland's nickname, the Emerald Isle.
