Long ago, when Ireland was the land of Druids, there was a great Bishop, by name of Patrick. He came to teach the word of God throughout the country and was well loved everywhere he went.
One day, however, a group of his followers came to him and admitted that it was difficult for them to believe in the doctrine of the Holy Trinity.
Patrick reflected a moment and then, stooping down, he plucked a leaf from the shamrock and held it before them, bidding them to behold the living example of the "Three-in-One." The simple beauty of this explanation convinced these skeptics, and from that day the shamrock has been revered throughout Ireland
