St. Patrick’s Day celebrates the legend of St. Patrick with teaching the Irish about the doctrine of the Holy Trinity with the shamrock, a three-leafed plant, representing the oneness of God in three persons, the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit. For this reason, shamrocks are a central symbol for St Patrick’s Day.
