The legend of the Shamrock

Shamrock
Long ago, when Ireland was the land of Druids, there was a great Bishop, Patrick by name, who came to teach the word of God throughout the country......This saint, was well loved everywhere he went. One day, however, a group of his followers came to him & admitted that it was difficult for them to believe in the doctrine of the Holy Trinity. St. Patrick reflected a moment & then, stooping down, he plucked a shamrock & 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, & from that day the shamrock has been revered throughout Ireland.
