the importance of the color green came initially from the pagan Celts. Green symbolizes spring and the shamrock.
In Christianity the shamrock according to legend was used by St. Patrick to explain the idea of the Holy Trinity of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost being one and the same.

St. Patrick started alot of churches in Ireland so the Irish made up a day just for him and the color of the shamrock is green so its hand in hand on St. Patricks day

St. Patrick started St. Patrick's Day, hence the name. He was from Ireland and Ireland is generally associated with lush, green land.

I'm Jewish, not Irish, but since they're both "ish", I think I'm qualified to answer this question. Green represents the "Emerald Isle" or Ireland. It's kind of like the red, white and blue for Americans. Hope this helps.

Wearing green is strictly a U.S. custom, as the color green is not popular in Ireland. Green is connected to the old green flag and a time when Ireland was not free. Green is also a color connected with hope and nature.
