Irish symbols
• Leprechauns- The legend says that if you catch a leprechaun, you can force them to tell you where they hid their pot of gold.
• Shamrocks- According to Irish legend, St. Patrick chose a three leaved clover or shamrock as a symbol of the church's Holy Trinity because of its three leaflets bound by a common stalk.
