  • 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.
    May God bless you and keep you

    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).
