Whether you have Irish roots or not, who doesn’t love a good excuse to cel­e­brate the Irish her­itage with some good hearty cooking and Irish brews or whiskies?

St. Patrick’s Day, as best described on Wikipedia, “was made an offi­cial feast day in the early sev­en­teenth cen­tury and is observed by the Catholic Church, the Anglican Com­mu­nion (espe­cially the Church of Ire­land), the Eastern Orthodox Church and Lutheran Church. For Chris­tians, the day com­mem­o­rates Saint Patrick and the arrival of Chris­tianity in Ire­land.   How­ever, it has grad­u­ally become more of a sec­ular cel­e­bra­tion of Irish­ness and Irish culture.”

Always falling on March 17th, many com­mu­ni­ties honor this cel­e­bra­tion with parades or fes­ti­vals which one thing is standard…the color green!  Wikipedia fur­ther states, “Orig­i­nally, the colour asso­ci­ated with Saint Patrick was blue. Over the years the colour green and its asso­ci­a­tion with Saint Patrick’s Day grew.  Green rib­bons and sham­rocks were worn in cel­e­bra­tion of St Patrick’s Day as early as the 17th century.”

We have com­piled a col­lage of a few of our favorite St. Patrick’s Day recipes, along with a few of our favorite green hued pieces, to get your home ready, in style, for this jovial cel­e­bra­tion.  Luck O’ the Irish be with you always!
