Many people, especially the Irish, may be wearing green, eating corned beef and cabbage, going to parades and of course drinking beer today for St. Patrick’s Day. Even though St. Patrick wasn’t born in Ireland, he is one of the patron saints of Ireland but his colors were blue and not green. But green is the color associated with the day and Chicago even dyes the Chicago River green each year since 1962. Some rivers are always greenish color, especially near melting glaciers like Sawyer Glacier on the end of Tracy Arm Fjord. The water in the fjord is green until it mixes with blue water at Holkham Bay.
