This three-leafed clover is not only a feature of Celtic mythology, it was very important in Irish legend in the spread of Christianity.
It concerns St. Patrick (Saint Patrick) as he tried to educate the Celts on the Holy Trinity, but they could not understand what he was trying to say to them.
St. Patrick saw a clover before him and decided to use it to explain the three strands of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit as one.
The Celts finally understood what he meant, and that’s how the shamrock became so important in Irish history and social tradition.
The three leaves on a shamrock represent faith, hope and love. In Ireland, it is considered extremely lucky if you find one with four leaves due to their rarity. The fourth leaf represents luck.
The word “shamrock” derives from the word seamróg or seamair óg in the Irish language which means “little clover”.
If you’re lucky enough to find a four-leaf clover, you must cut off the fourth leaf and place it in a glass of water until it begins to grow, they say.
Then, you plant it into your garden, thus causing a “lucky patch” of grass to grow!
