Shamrock Fence Friday

The shamrock is an Irish national symbol. The shamrock is a young clover plant with three leaves. The word shamrock is the English spelling of the Irish word seamróg, a shortening of seamair óg, which means young clover. The shamrock was, according to legend, used by Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland and the person who brought Christianity to Ireland, to explain the divine Trinity. Later the shamrock became an unofficial symbol of Ireland. (The official symbol is the harp).
