The Shamrock: Although the origins of the shamrock are lost in antiquity, legend suggests that St. Patrick plucked a shamrock from Irish soil to demonstrate the meaning of the Trinity- Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The plant was reputed to have mystic powers in that its petals will stand upright to warn of an approaching storm. The shamrock remains Ireland"s most famous symbol. The shamrock is also commonly associated with the symbol of luck. In studying Celtic history, scholars have discovered that the shamrock was a charm to ward away evil.
