About Shamrocks

A symbol most commonly associated with Ireland, the Shamrock is a three-leaf clover. (Four leaf clovers, the much rarer version of this small, leafy plant, are also associated with Ireland and are considered to be good luck.) Catholic lore lists St. Patrick as using the shamrock as a way to explain the Holy Trinity to the people of Ireland, the nation of which he became its patron saint. Even older pagan legends cite the shamrock as a symbol of the Triple Goddess.
