Good luck token and a symbol for Ireland. The shamrock is also reputed to be the item St. Patrick used to explain the Trinity to the Irish (three leaves joining into one stalk). The other main symbol for Ireland is the Harp.

According to legend, St Patrick brought Christianity to Ireland. He taught the people about the trinity (father, son and holy spirit) by using a shamrock, which has 3 leaves but is one plant.

Its to do with the 3 leafy bits on it. Its meant to represent the Holy Trinity (God, Spirit, Son). St. Patrick thought us that.

the holy trinity,3 leaves on one stem represents God the father God the son and God the holy spirit. The main lesson of Christianity.
And a good excuse to get drunk,"drown the shamrock".

It's an accepted Irish national symbol.

A shamrock is the unofficial symbol of Ireland. They also have them on Irish sports teams, airlines and colleges.
To be sure to be sure
