According to St. Patrick's Day lore, St. Patrick used the leaves of a shamrock as a metaphor for the holy trinity. Each leaf represented either the Father, the Son or the Holy Spirit. Many representations of St. Patrick depict the patron saint with shamrocks tied to his robes, others show him pictured alongside shamrocks. Some pictures of St. Patrick even present him driving the snakes out of Ireland—a popular, debunked legend associated with the Christian figure—with a cross in one hand and a spring of shamrocks in the other. Hope you all had a Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
