Shamrocks for St. Patrick's day
The Shamrock: a 3-Leaf Clover, is Ireland's most recognized National Symbol. Here are some interesting facts about the

In the 5th century when St. Patrick came to convert the Irish information on Christianity could only be spread across the realm from one storyteller, or seanchaí, pronounced shan-a-key to the other.

In mind of this St. Patrick used to the Shamrock to explain the concept of the holy trinity - that God was composed of three entities - the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit - yet each entity was part of the other just like the shamrock has three leaves but a single stem.

As St. Patrick continued to use the Shamrock in his conversion of the Irish it grew, through storytelling to be seen as a holy plant, just as he was seen as a holy man.

It is for this reason that the Shamrock is worn on the St. Patrick’s day and all other special occasions to celebrate his work and to bring 'a bit o'luck' to the Irish and all their children wherever they may be.
