Did You Know? - Green is one of the colors in Ireland's flag and the country is known as the "Emerald Isle." Also, green is the color of the shamrock. According to Christian Science Monitor, the first color associated with St. Patrick's Day was blue, but it changed to green in the 17th century.

And why do you get pinched if you aren't wearing green?

The tradition was reportedly started by Americans likely in the early 1700s. Revelers apparently thought that if you wore green you would be invisible to leprechauns, which would pinch anyone not wearing green. People started pinching those without green on him as a reminder about the leprechauns.

Did You Know? - According to legend, how can you obtain the leprechaun's pot of gold?

By capturing him and not taking your eyes off him until you get your gold. This may be the origin of the leprechaun's trickery. Fairy law requires the leprechaun to be honest with you if captured, but only for as long as you look him in the eye. It does not forbid tricks, only lying, but as soon as you look away the leprechaun can vanish, lie to you, or anything else he can dream up.

Quotation To Remember: What is Irish diplomacy?
It's the ability to tell a man to go to hell,
So that he will look forward to making the trip.
