A few years ago in 2011, I was visiting New York City on St Pats Day and witnessed people dressed in green and orange. I asked someone on the street why they were dressed in Orange and was enlightened. On St. Patricks Day in Ireland, Protestants wear orange, while Catholics wear green. In many communities in Ireland, wearing the wrong color would be like wearing the wrong gang color in the wrong neighborhood. There is a long history of violence between Irish Catholics and Protestants.
