It's coming up on St. Patrick's (or "Paddy's) Day and time for "Wearin' the Green". Did a little research and found out there was much I didn't know. "The Wearing of the Green" is an Irish street ballad lamenting the repression of supporters of the Irish Rebellion of 1798. It is to an old Irish air, and many versions of the lyric exist. The revolutionary Society of United Irishmen adopted green as its color, and supporters wore green-colored garments, ribbons, or a shamrock. For this challenge post apparel or articles of green that can be WORN - clothing, jewelry. You can find the ballad "The Wearin' O' the Green" here.
