Today, March 17, we are celebrating St. Patrick’s Day. Everyone is wishing each other a “Happy St. Patrick’s Day, or St. Paddy’s Day.” 
I remember as a child, always making certain 
that I wore "something" green - including a ribbon on my underwear. ;-) Okay, I wore a green barrette too. ;-)
I am always interested in history, so I did some research on this “green day.” I've shared a link that provides some juicy details on the origination of St. Patrick's Day and other good stuff.
1. Irish Stew. I selected a link to a video about how to make this tantalizing feast with lots of information too.
2. History of St. Patrick’s Day: Another link to a video. Corned beef was introduced in the United States – before that, it was bacon and potatoes.
3. Color of Green: Originally was blue – not green. The history behind that is in this video.
4. St. Patrick - person - was from Britain – not Ireland. Here is another link to a video with the reasons of how this happened. 
5. St. Patrick’s parade began in New York: It is the oldest longest St. Patrick’s parade anywhere and began before The Revolution. Here’s a video with very cool information.
Have a wonderful St. Patrick’s Day!!!! Now you know how it started and more. My Lady In Red and I, wish you a Great Green Day!!!
