Leprechaun Hat or Irish cap on St. Patrick's Day:

Wishing you all the luck on this St. Patrick’s Day!

Commonly called an Irish cap by some, this flat cap goes by many names. An Irish newsboy cap, an Irish tweed cap, a cabbie cap, or an ivy cap, the list is endless.

St. Patrick's Day is a global celebration of Irish culture that takes place annually on March 17, the anniversary of the patron saint of Ireland's death in the fifth.

Saint Patrick is the patron saint and national apostle of Ireland. He is credited with successfully spreading Christianity throughout Ireland—hence the Christian celebration of his life and name.

I have read somewhere that the man who would eventually become St. Patrick was born in Britain, part of the Roman Empire at the time, as Maewyn Succat in the late 4th century. His family was Christian, but it’s said that Maewyn himself was an atheist throughout his childhood.

The celebration of Irish culture with parades, special foods, music, dancing, drinking and a whole lot of green.

The green represents the Catholics, orange represents the Protestants, and white represents the “peace” between the groups.

St Patrick's Day celebrations were brought to Canada by Irish immigrants.

St. Patrick's Day is a public holiday in some areas in Canada, in other areas, St. Patrick's Day is a normal working day.

In Toronto, large scale St Patrick's Day parades are held, often on the Sunday closest to March 17.

People who have an Irish background or enjoy Irish culture may hold Irish themed parties and serve traditional dishes, such as Colcannon or Irish stew. Colcannon is a dish of mashed potatoes mixed with kale or cabbage and Irish stew is traditionally made with lamb and root vegetables. Traditional Irish drinks include stout, a dark beer, and whiskey. Other parties may be themed around the color green. Guests may be expected to wear green clothes and only green food and drink is served.

Symbols:

The most widely-seen St Patrick's Day symbols are the colors green, and sometimes orange, and the shamrock. The shamrock is a symbol of Ireland and a registered trademark of the Republic of Ireland. It is the leaf of the clover plant, which grows on the ground, often among grass and an Irish Catholic symbol of the Holy Trinity. It is sometimes confused with the four-leaf clover, which is a variety of the three-leaf clover and is thought to bring good luck.

Wearing Green:

Leprechauns are actually one reason you're supposed to wear green on St. Patrick's Day—or risk getting pinched! The tradition is tied to folklore that says wearing green makes you invisible to leprechauns, which like to pinch anyone they can see.
