With St. Patrick’s Day approaching, the shamrock is everywhere! But how did this simple three-leaf clover become a symbol of Ireland and luck?
According to legend, St. Patrick used the shamrock in the 5th century to explain the Christian concept of the Holy Trinity—three leaves, one plant. Over time, it became a national emblem of Irish pride, and during the 18th century, Irish rebels wore shamrocks as a symbol of defiance against British rule.
Today, the shamrock represents luck, heritage, and celebration, making it an enduring icon of Irish culture worldwide!
