Festival sign

St Patrick's Day also has some representative symbols, such as clover, which usually has three heart-shaped leaves connected together, and the legendary goblin.

St Patrick explained the important teachings of the Trinity-the Father, the Infant and the Holy Spirit-to the Irish people at that time with three heart-shaped leaves of sorrel (clover). Therefore, oxalis (clover) has become a symbol of Ireland, and now finding four-leaf oxalis (clover) is a symbol of luck.
