Answer 1

St. Patrick IS THE ORIGIN OF THE "LUCK OF THE IRISH". (He was a kidnapped Brit who was enslaved and found God on the hills herding sheep as a slave. He escaped. Became a Bishop and returned to bring the faith to the Pagan Irish who believed in the Druids.)

He received inspiration from GOD to use the three leaf clover called a Shamrock to explain the Trinity to his flocks who were the descendants of the Celts and the Viking invaders. They
believed in the ancient druid's religion of magic and many gods of nature.

That there occurs four leaf clovers was explained that they were the result of God's melting the druids beliefs with the trinity of the Christian's beliefs.

Irish soldiers conscripted into the British army began wearing the shamrock on their uniforms to bring them protection and avoid being killed in battle. (Because they were blessed and used by St. Patrick they believed they were on God's side and protected by God.)

This is known as "wearing the Green".

Now the Irish are descendants of great fighters and invaders: the Celts and Vikings. They truly seem to be lucky because they are good at what they do and fewer get killed because of their natural fighting skills. "The Luck of the Irish"

Is all that true? Ask any Irishman, I'm married to one, he'll tell ye! He's one lucky man! ;-)
