Shamrock, Seamóg or Seamair Óg, the Irish for a youthful clover can be found growing wild throughout Ireland. It is worn on the feast day of St. Patrick, 17th March, to represent a Link with St Patrick, the Bishop that spread the Christian message in Ireland. It is said St Patrick used the three leaved Shamrock to describe the idea of the Holy Trinity, (the Father, Son and Holy Spirit), to the pagan Irish throughout the Fifth Century. The tradition of wearing Shamrock on Saint Patrick's Day can be traced back to the very early 1700's.
