St Patrick’s Blue

Mark » 17 March 2009 » In Online Casino »

Did you know that blue and not green, was the original color associated with St Patrick, the Patron Saint of the Irish?  There are ten interesting things that Faith Central have come up with.

St Patrick’s Blue is the color used on Ireland’s Presidential Standard (flag) and the Irish guards have a blue plume on their bearskins.  The green color only came in the 1800’s as a sympathy of Irish Independence.

And how did they get through a day with all the pubs closed in Ireland???  Its no wonder they changed that after the 70’s.

Its good to keep abreast of casino gaming software developments and if you want to know more about top online casino software, have a look at this page.

    Not sure St Pat, good question, it seems like Wikipedia isn’t too sure why they chose green either…something to do with the color of a shamrock.. who knows?
