Erin Go Bragh - Shirt

Green ribbons and shamrocks were worn in celebration of St Patrick's Day as early as the 17th century. Saint Patrick is said to have used the shamrock, a three-leaved plant, to explain the Holy Trinity to the pre-Christian Irish, and the wearing and display of shamrocks and shamrock-inspired designs have become a ubiquitous feature of the day. The phrase "the wearing of the green", meaning to wear a shamrock on one's clothing, derives from the song of the same name. The Gaelic or Irish saying “Erin Go Bragh” is across the front of this shirt in “Irish Green”. Erin Go Bragh translates as Ireland Forever.
