點解St. Patrick’s Day要着綠色衫？
原來據說唔着綠色衫嘅人，會俾綠色小精靈leprechaun搣㗎！另外都因為愛爾蘭有翡翠島之稱，而國旗上嘅綠色都有關係。

Why do we wear Green on St. Patrick’s Day?
Leprechauns are one reason we’re supposed to wear green on St. Patrick's Day. According to Irish folklore, wearing green makes you invisible to leprechauns, which like to pinch people they can see.

Other reason we wear green on St. Patrick’s Day is because of Ireland’s nickname, The Emerald Isle. The green stripe in the Irish flag also played a role.
