If you get pinched today, check to see if you are wearing green for today is Saint Patrick’s Day! Also known as the Feast of Saint Patrick, it’s both a a religious and cultural holiday held on 17 March, commemorating the traditional death date of Saint Patrick (c. 385 – c. 461), the foremost patron saint of Ireland.
People wear green this day because shamrocks (a/k/a clover) are commonly associated with this holiday. According to folklore, you get pinched on St. Patrick’s Day for not wearing green because green makes you invisible to leprechauns. Apparently leprechauns like to pinch 🙂
Thank you for reading today's post. Have an InterStellar Day! ~PrP
