The lore of St. Patty has it that this patron Saint would roam the Irish countryside wearing the common three-leaf clover to symbolize the Christian Trinity. Saint Patrick has a fascinating story. It is claimed that he died on March 17, 493.
The Irish call the common ubiquitous white clover the Shamrock. In fact, the Irish Government has registered the Shamrock as an official trademark.
Was the shamrock lucky? Well, if you happened to pick on of the rare mutant four leaf clover it was. It was lucky because it was rare.
Here is Luck O’ the Irish to you!
