what was the original color associated with st patrick?
Today, St. Patrick's Day is the day to wear green, kiss the Blarney Stone (weâll get to that later), and celebrate being Irish (or in some cases, choosing to be Irish for a day). Why do people wear green on St. Patrickâs Day? True or False? Green was not the original color associated with St. Patrickâs Day. The answer is true. Blue was the original color of St. Patrickâs Day and can still be seen on ancient Irish Flags. The color green was later adopted by Ireland in the 19th Century because green is representative of spring, fertility, life, and of course the shamrock.
