The Shamrock

 Long ago, when Ireland was the land of Druids, a Christian Bishop known to us now as St. Patrick, came to teach the word of God. Although the origins of the shamrock are lost in antiquity, legend suggests that it was St. Patrick who plucked a shamrock from Irish soil to demonstrate the simple (three-in-one) meaning of the Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

 The shamrock is found on Irish medieval tombs and on old copper coins, known as St. Patrick's money. The plant was reputed to have mystic powers... the leaves standing upright to warn of an approaching storm.

 Derived from the Irish word 'seamrog" meaning 'summer plant,' one thing is certain about the shamrock, it ‘s a form of Irish jewelry worn by millions all over the world on St. Patrick's Day and remains Ireland's most famous symbol.
