What is the meaning of being pinched if you don't wear green? |
[Edit] |
Answer
It's pretty much a U.S. custom for St. Patricks day. In Ireland, the protestants and catholics are so displeased with each other that they have actually been fighting a war for many years.
We should not take sides nor should we believe that we understand the issues. Catholics wear green on St. Patricks day to commmemorate their religion. On the other hand, the protestants wear orange as a statement against Catholicism. The pinching is little more than a statement against anyone who was not openly and proudly Catholic.
