My oh my, don't we have a collection here! I do believe there is a pretty good truce amongst the Brits and the Irish and the Catholics and the Protestants in the Emerald Isle last I heard, and I haven't heard much about bombs there lately, but sure and begorra have heard about bombs in Iraq! And why not wear green any time you like? Nothing is stopping you except for fashion! I have only a wee-bit-o-Irish in me, but that's enough to allow me! And why only one day? Why not? Let's have Christmas every day! Ah, but let's get sensible about it, kenna? Once a year is enough. Who would want to spend more than one day that drunk! Cheers!!

If you want the Catholic answer, it is because St. Patrick is only one of many, many saints who are on the Catholic liturgical calendar. St. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland. Because the US is the home of many immigrants from Ireland, the day is a day of remembering their Irish heritage.

There is only one St. Patricks day but you can wear green whenever you want!

Simple ---> If you had multiple days of St. Patricks Day celebration, all major intersections would begin to look like those demolition derbies.

Because we wouldn't have enough green to wear every day?

Do you think the clue may just be in the word DAY?

Because it's a holiday that falls on one day, you don't celebrate easter or halloween more then one day....
