------------------
Shamrock Symbolism - Although some doubt this as true, several sources claim that the shamrock was used by St. Patrick, who helped spread Christianity throughout Ireland. The claim is that the three petals of the shamrock symbolize the three parts of the trinity — Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. But at least one source, the Oxford English Dictionary, refutes this claim, saying that the story dates back only to the 18th century. Perhaps it doesn’t matter: the Irish have been associated with the shamrock, and vice-versa, ever since.
Ancient Celtic cultures used the three-sided theme as a powerful representation of several ideas, including nature, man, and spirit. The triskelion, a three-wheeled design, shows up frequently in their carvings, artwork, armor, and in the knot-work typical of their people. |
