And now it’s time for Manic Mystery Monday so pop your thinking caps on and teachers dial 1420 when you have heard the entire question and your class has an answer:

Question: What are the three colors of the Irish flag?

Answer: Green, white and orange.

Class: Miller

Note: What do the 3 colors on the Irish flag mean?

Flag of Ireland | History, Symbolism, Design | Britannica

In the 19th century various tricolour flags and ribbons came to be symbolic of Irish nationalism. Many of them included the colours green (for the Roman Catholics.  It represented the side fighting for Irish independence.), orange (for the Protestants who at one time had been led by William of Orange), and white (the color of peace and purity for peace between them).

Have a marvelous Monday everybody!
