Did You Know… this FUN fact about Shamrocks?

Legend says that St. Patrick used the shamrock to explain the Holy Trinity to the local people when he brought Christianity to Ireland. But there’s evidence to suggest that the number 3 was sacred to the Irish long before his arrival. Pagans in Ireland had several triple deities, such as the Morrígan, and may have used the shamrock as their symbol, too. When St. Patrick arrived, he might have simply adopted this same method to explain the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
