Happy Saint Patrick's Day

The crew at Prepress Training Solution would like to wish you and yours a fantastic St. Patrick's Day!

St. Patrick's Day is celebrated worldwide by the Irish and increasingly by non-Irish (usually in Australia, North America, Ireland) as well. Celebrations are generally themed around all things Irish and, by association, the color green. Both Christians and non-Christians celebrate the secular version of the holiday by wearing green or orange, eating Irish food and/or green foods, imbibing Irish drink (such as Guinness) and attending parades.

Some Popular American Traditions

Corned beef and cabbage is the most common meal eaten in the United States for St. Patrick's Day.

Although the baseball season is still in the spring training phase when St. Patrick's Day rolls around, some teams celebrate by wearing St. Patrick's Day themed uniforms. The Cincinnati Reds were the first team to ever wear St. Patrick's Day hats in 1978. The Boston Red Sox were the second team to start wearing St. Patrick's Day hats in 1990. Many teams have since wearing St. Patrick's day themed jerseys, including the Philadelphia Phillies in the 1980s and Boston Red Sox in 2004. Since then it has become a tradition of many sports teams to also wear special uniforms to celebrate the holiday.

And of course our buddies at Google observe St. Patties Day.


So wear some green, avoid getting pinched, and head down to the local pub for a drink with your friends or family.
