Happy Saint Patrick’s Day everyone! Which color do you wear/support the Orange or the Green? If I can find the link I’ll post “The Irish Rovers” song about the dilema of the orange and the green…..

I’ve never heard anything about wearing orange on St. Patrick’s Day, just green. I can’t remember if I brought anything green for me to wear to my parents. I know my son has a green shirt I can put him in though.
couldn’t find the Irish Rovers version but this one is close and pretty good

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!!
GREEN! Most def! We grew up on the rebel songs of the Clancy Brothers & Tommy Makem! (Listened to other groups too, but the Clancy brothers are the ones with me every year!)
Twin, you’ll appreciate this story (though it turned out that not many of my friends got it at the time). Last year we were in town and I told my husband that our friend’s daughter was playing her violin at a Paddy’s Day celebration and we should pop in to watch her. In my defense, it was last minute, it was NOT Paddy’s Day, but the weekend prior, and my daughter, age 3, picked out her own clothes. As we were walking in to a very large (green) celebration, I looked down and noticed that not only were we not wearing green, but my daughter was (of course) wearing an orange sweater! I mentioned it to my husband, and he said, “Is that important?” Haha… at least she was only 3. 😆
BWWWAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!! That’s TOO funny! When I was little, probably 6 or 7 my fav dress for church was an off-white bacground with a green and pale orange plaid design!!!!!!! Nobody in the states really gets the orange thing….. but my son Sean went to school today in his green shirt that has an orange stripe down each sleeve!

St Patty’s Day is the 17th!!
I’m wearing a shirt that says RIreland and is has Green in it. I have never heard of Orange today either.
I just remembered that it’s my co-wrokers b-day alsoDragon Master wrote:St Patty’s Day is the 17th!!
St. Pattys was on Saturday…the 15th. Sorry you missed it. It was changed by the Roman Catholic Church to avoid conflict with Holy Monday that falls on 3/17. Today.
St. Patty’s is the 17th. A lot of celebrations were held on the 15th so as not to conflict with Holy Week, but that does not change the date of the holiday.
Happy St. Patrick’s!

Happy St. Patrick’s! The date is occasionally moved by church authorities when March 17 falls during Holy Week; this happened in 1940 when Saint Patrick’s Day was observed on 3 April in order to avoid it coinciding with Palm Sunday, and is happening again in 2008, being observed on 15 March. March 17 will not fall during Holy Week again until 2160.
This year, St. Pattys was held on the 15th. I personally dont care and only pointed it out because DM seemed to think it was today. Its not. The church changed it. But as I stated above… Happy St. Paddys. Late or not. 🙂
