One of the most prominent aspects of St. Patrick's Day is its association with the color green. This tradition dates back to the 17th century, when green was adopted as the color of the Irish Catholic Confederation. Today, people wear green clothing, decorate their homes and workplaces with green decorations, and even dye their hair green to show their support for the holiday.

In addition to its cultural significance, St. Patrick's Day also has historical roots. St. Patrick was a Christian missionary who is credited with bringing Christianity to Ireland in the 5th century. He is also said to have used the shamrock as a symbol of the Holy Trinity, which is why it has become a popular symbol of the holiday.
