Shamrocks – Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Shamrock Patch (3-leaf clovers)This pretty picture of Shamrocks was the feature picture of the day on Webshots…I wander over there a lot as both my husband and son like to take pictures and post them to Webshots. But today’s picture was taken by Webshots user lilian101.

The name “Shamrock” is actually taken from the Irish word seamrog which means little clover. Legend states that St. Patrick used the shamrock as a visual when explaining the trinity…the 3 leaves joined by one stalk, like the Father, Son and Holy Spirit being the one true God. Whether it is a legend or not, it is a wonderful illustration of a great spiritual truth.
