The name Shamrock is derived from the Irish "seamrog" meaning "summer plant", it is believed that Shamrocks bring Good Luck. It is Ireland's most famous symbol and symbolizes the Cross and the Blessed Trinity. Its trefoil shaped leaves meant it was a sacred plant of the ancient Druids of Ireland and of other ancient civilisations around the world. The shamrock is forever connected to the teachings of the Three in One Trinity by St Patrick in the fifth century and his banishment of serpents from Ireland as snakes would never be seen on trefoil. St Patrick used the shamrock to explain the holy trinity to the pagan Irish as he spread Christianity to the country. Today he is the patron Saint of Ireland and his feast day is celebrated worldwide on March the 17th. Also available with the famous Irish Claddagh symbol.
