+The actual color of St. Patrick is blue. Green became associated with St. Patrick's Day during the 19th century. Green, in Irish legends, was worn by fairies and immortals, and also by people to encourage their crops to grow.
+In Chicago, on St. Patrick's Day, the rivers are dyed green.
+In Seattle, there is a ceremony where a green stripe is painted down the roads
