Fun St. Patty's Day Facts
In Ireland on St. Patrick's Day, people traditionally wear a small bunch of shamrocks on their jackets or caps. Children wear orange, white and green badges, and women and girls wear green ribbons in their hair.
According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the highest number of leaves found on a clover is 14!
Legend says that each leaf of the clover means something: the first is for hope, the second for faith, the third for love, and the fourth for luck.
