Title: Its the Shamrock
Post by: Viva Cristo Rey on March 14, 2017, 05:24:28 PM

More and more, we see the four leaf clover replacing the Shamrock during St. Patrick's Day.
T - shirts, sewing fabrics, decorations even AOh banners have 4 leaf clover instead of the Shamrock which is the symbol of the Holy Trinity as taught by St Patrick.

That is very interesting! But, not really surprising considering the times. I think some of them are trying to present the "luck" of the Irish, which is signified by four leaves (which may have its root in Protestantism).
