the holy trinity of the christian faith
The Trinity-- Three persons in One God Three leaves on one stem.
The Trinity (three in one).Patrick used the shamrock to help teach the Trinity - one leaf, three parts, one God, three persons.The shamrock represents the Holy Trinity, in that the three leaves signify the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Each of the three leaves is part and parcel of the overall shamrock, symbolizing the unity of the three parts of the Almighty.St Patrick used the shamrock to illustrate the mystery of the Holy Trinity. According to Roman Catholicism this supernatural mystery (a mystery the human mind can never fully understand) teaches that there are three separate supernatural Persons or beings, God, the Son (Jesus) and the Holy Spirit which coexist as One. The shamrock illustrates this mystery by having three leaves, each representing a Person of the Holy trinity, but all on the one stem.
St. Patrick uses the shamrock (Irish word for clover- like plant) to explain the Trinity. The Shamrock, like American clover, has three leaves.
St. Patrick would hold the shamrock up and ask the people that were listening to him if the shamrock was one leaf or three. They would reply it was both one leaf and three leaves. He explained it was the same with the Holy Trinity. God is one God in three persons. The Father, the Son, and The Holy Spirit.

absolutely nothing The 3 leafed clover was used by St patrick to teach the principles of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost (HOLY Trinity) to the uneducated peasents of Ireland, whom he was Converting to Cathiolisism... so I suppose in that respect the shamrock has to do with St Patrick rather then St. Patrick's Day
