Here’s the color of blue associated with St. Patrick, Letise Dennis. Also, a native born Irish friend of mine said that historically St. Patrick’s Day in Ireland wasn’t really a big deal. It’s now celebrated in Ireland because of the emphasis placed on the day by American Irish living in the U.S. CPT Jack Durish

Why do we eat corned beef on St. Patrick's Day? | RallyPoint

Why is corned beef associated with St. Patrick's Day? It's an Irish dish...isn't it? It's a question that, like many American traditions, has an indirect answer. We reveal the answer, as well as give a look behind the scenes of our city's beloved Slyman's Restaurant (3106 St.Clair Avenue) in our exclusive St. Patrick's Day video.

Thanks for sharing this video! Yeah, the link in the article seemed to indicate a similar connection to why corned beef is associated with the holiday. It's always fascinating to learn the history behind traditions!
