The shamrock is a symbol of Ireland, but it is not the national symbol. The official national symbol of Ireland is the harp, which can be seen on Irish coins and documents. Tradition says that St. Patrick, in attempting to explain the meaning of the Holy Trinity, picked up a shamrock leaf to illustrate his point of three parts to one whole object. The three leaves of the shamrock represent the Father (God), Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit. It has become a popular symbol over the centuries and now often symbolizes pride in one's Irish heritage.
It is their (Christian) belief that Saint Patrick, in the fifth century, used the shamrock to "explain" the concept of 3 divine persons existing as one being (father,son, and spirit = god). Three leaves on the shamrock but one plant. The word "shamrock" comes from the Gaelic "seamrog" = seamar (pronounced shammar) meaning "clover",' and "og" , meaning young. Baby clover.
It is one of the symbols of Ireland, though not the official symbol. When St. Patrick came to Ireland it is said that he used the shamrock as a way of explaining how there are 3 gods in one God.
