St. Patrick's Day:
Where Green is the New Gold
Are you ready to go green with glee? Then buckle up, because it's time to dive into the meaning behind the color that has become synonymous with Ireland and its rich cultural heritage.
The "Emerald Isle", as it is lovingly referred to, boasts rolling hills and lush green fields that have captured the hearts of people for centuries. But it's not just the breathtaking scenery that gives green such a special place in Irish culture. It all started with St. Patrick himself and his clever use of the three-leafed shamrock to explain the Holy Trinity to the pagan Irish. And just like that, the green shamrock became a symbol of Irish heritage.
Fast forward to the early seventeenth century, when St. Patrick's Day became an official feast day. And it was during this time that wearing green on St. Patrick's Day became a tradition. It was a way for the Irish to express their pride in their heritage and show solidarity with their fellow countrymen and women. Today, wearing green on this holiday is a must-do, whether you're of Irish descent or just love the culture, and that includes wearing St. Patrick’s day jewelry.
