St Patrick's Day

I hope everyone had a nice St. Patrick's Day and didn't get pinched! But why pinch? I was thinking about it the other day how every March 17, we break out every piece of green clothing and jewelry, don shamrock-shaped pins and glasses, and dye our bagels and beverages that are green. But was it really the way people celebrated St. Patrick’s Day in the 7th century. Not quite!

So what is St. Patrick’s Day? Back then it was a religious holiday celebrated only in Ireland, and green wasn’t even part of the equation. The original color associated with St. Patrick’s Day was actually blue, one of many little know facts about St. Patrick's Day. Early depictions of St. Patrick show him wearing blue, and the official color of the Order of St. Patrick, part of Ireland’s chivalry, was a sky blue known as “St. Patrick’s Blue.” So how did the feast day of the patron saint of Ireland get this obsession with green?

One of the reasons green replaced blue was because of Ireland’s nickname, The Emerald Isle. The green stripe in the Irish flag also played a role. Traditionally, the green represents the Catholics of Ireland, the orange represents the Protestant population, and the white in the middle symbolizes the peace between the two religions.

The religious symbolism doesn’t stop there. St. Patrick used green shamrocks to teach people about the Holy Trinity (God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit), another justification for greenifying everything.

Of course, we can’t talk about St. Patrick’s Day without mentioning leprechauns. Back in the day, these mischievous little guys were said to wear red and gold jackets with pointy red hats. Now they’re rarely seen wearing anything other than green. And, legend has it, they pinch anyone not wearing their favorite color.

And isn’t that reason enough to wear green? :-)

Little tip involving tweezers and books!

Did you know that Uncle Bill's Tweezers can pick up a dollar bill by the fuzz on the paper? Talk about precision! They can also help you peel apart pages of a book that are stuck together. I had just the issue the other night. It was a library book and someone must have spilled something on it. I used my tweezers to separate the pages as much as I could and then pull slowly. There was no ripping and the book (minus the stain) was like new! Just thought that I would share!

Black Oxide Tweezers

Another option for the tweezers (not on my site, but can still be ordered through me) is oxide tweezers are great for the army. The surface is not shiny like the original keeping one hidden and protected. Here are just some of the reasons to buy them:

·  Precision-ground points provide pin-point gripping

·  Spring-tempered stainless steel with black oxide coating keeps perfect alignment

·  Easier, more precise handling and control just like the original

·  Complete with convenient holder

·  Made in USA
