According to the definition the shamrock is a symbol of?
According to the definition the shamrock is a symbol of . . . One traditional symbol of Saint Patrick's Day is the Shamrock. "Shamrock" is the common name for several different kinds of three-leafed clovers native to Ireland. The shamrock was chosen Ireland's national emblem because of the legend that St. Patrick had used it to illustrate the doctrine of the Trinity. The Trinity is the idea that God is really three-in-one: The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit. Patrick demonstrated the meaning of the Three-in-One by picking a shamrock from the grass growing at his feet and showing it to his listeners. He told them that just as the shamrock is one leaf with three parts, God is one entity with three Persons. The Irish have considered shamrocks as good-luck symbols since earliest times, and today people of many other nationalities also believe they bring good luck.
What are symbols of St Patrick's day?
The symbol of St. Patrick is a shamrock of three leafs, since the saint used it to preach the Gospel in Ireland, and particularly, to explain the Christian doctrine of the Holy Trinity.Also, the British (more English, than others) tradition maintains a red saltire (an x-shaped cross) on the white background to symbolise St. Patrick's cross. Thus, it is reflected in the UK flag, where one can find the red saltire among the symbols of England (St. George's Standard) and Scotland (St. Andrew's Standard). HOWEVER, flags with cross-shaped symbols on are accorded ONLY to commemorate martyres, and since St. Patrick wasn't one, the whole "St. Patrick's cross" tradition is, evidently, made-up to have something representing Ireland, formerly an English province, on the British Union flag.Saint patricks symbol is a green clover
