The three leaf clover, or shamrock, is a symbol for the Irish because St. Patrick used it to teach the pagans the Trinity, 3 into 1, or 3 forming 1.
In Irish tradition, a three leaf clover supposedly represents the Holy Trinity - The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. If a four leaf clover is found, then the fourth leaf is considered to bring God's Grace.
