Fact of the Day:  Saint Patrick didn’t wear green. His color was “Saint Patrick’s blue.” The color green became associated with St. Patrick’s Day after it was linked to the Irish independence movement in the late 18th century.  Remember, St. Patrick hailed from Wales, not Ireland & was born to Roman parents.  The whole snakes thing is an apocryphal; Ireland is an island and too cold for snakes.  The dye in the Chicago River lasts for about only 5 hours.
