As is customary every year, on March 17 Saint Patrick's Day is celebrated in the United States, also known as St. Paddy's or St. Patrick's Day in English.
There are various theories as to why Saint Patrick wears green on St. Patrick's Day; the most common is that the color is simply associated with the holiday because of the country's nickname, which is 'Emerald Isle', as well as the colors of its flag and shamrocks, which are of this same color and are commonly associated with the holiday; for it is said that Saint Patrick used a shamrock to explain the Holy Trinity to the Irish pagans.
A theory suggests that the use of the color green has a political origin. According to Paul Finnegan, former executive director of the Irish Center of New York, wearing emerald represents Irish republicanism, the movement with which Ireland became an independent republic. Once the immigrant arrived in the United State, they used this color to celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day.
However according to folklore, if you don't wear green for St. Patrick's Day, you may get pinched, as the color green makes you "invisible" to leprechauns, who like to pinch. So if you don't wear a garment of this color, you will be visible to these mythological creatures.
