Vert, Verde, Verda, Glas... Green

     Happy St. Patrick's Day! While most people wear green today and hand out a lot of pinches to those who have forgotten or don't care it actually does have some meaning and purpose. St. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland and today is actually the only day during lent where restrictions are lifted and church members are expected to drink and eat without restriction. It's also the most popularly celebrated saint's day (Other than the Superbowl) that is celebrated world wide. Another cool fact is that originally everyone would wear blue and not green, but with the use of clovers and ribbons green became a more and more pronounced color for the season.

     Feast hard and Go Green!
