When we think of St. Patrick's, We all know that's when three
leaf clovers are growing. St Patrick day is an Irish holiday that is
celebrated on March 17th, which is the day that Saint Patrick died.
St Patrick was a missionary in the 4th century who converted the
Irish to Christianity. born around 385 AD in the United Kingdom. His
real name is believed to be Maewyn Succat (He took on Patrick, after
he became a priest). When he was 16, he was kidnapped by Irish
raiders and sold into slavery in Ireland.
During his six year captivity as a shepherd, he began to have
religious visions and found strength in his faith. He finally
escaped to France and became a priest and later a bishop. When he
was about 60 years old, Saint Patrick returned to Ireland to spread
the Christian word.
 He
used the shamrock, which resembles a four leafed clover
As a metaphor to explain the Christian concept of God
(Father, Son and Holy Spirit).
