Green, the colour most widely associated with Ireland, with Irish people, and with St. Patrick&#8217;s Day in modern times, may have gained its prominence through the phrase &#8220;the wearing of the green&#8221; meaning to wear a shamrock on one&#8217;s clothing. At many times in Irish history, to do so was seen as a sign of Irish nationalism or loyalty to the Roman Catholic faith. St. Patrick used the shamrock, a three-leaved plant, to explain the Holy Trinity to the pre-Christian Irish. The wearing of and display of shamrocks and shamrock-inspired designs have become a ubiquitous feature of the saint&#8217;s holiday. The change to Ireland&#8217;s association with green rather than blue probably began around the 1750s.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a few of our customer-created St. Patrick&#8217;s Day designs:<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/retired.bluecotton.com\/proof\/proof5761-2299.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" src=\"https:\/\/retired.bluecotton.com\/proof\/proof5761-2299.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"107\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/retired.bluecotton.com\/proof\/proof11374-1629.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" src=\"https:\/\/retired.bluecotton.com\/proof\/proof11374-1629.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"107\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/retired.bluecotton.com\/proof\/proof11320-11803.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" src=\"https:\/\/retired.bluecotton.com\/proof\/proof11320-11803.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"107\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/retired.bluecotton.com\/proof\/proof4775-11194.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" src=\"https:\/\/retired.bluecotton.com\/proof\/proof4775-11194.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"107\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/retired.bluecotton.com\/proof\/proof5716-1954.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" src=\"https:\/\/retired.bluecotton.com\/proof\/proof5716-1954.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"107\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/retired.bluecotton.com\/proof\/proof11657-4647.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" src=\"https:\/\/retired.bluecotton.com\/proof\/proof11657-4647.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"107\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Order your custom St. Patrick\u2019s Day shirts now!
