A Day Late, But In Case You Were Wondering About All Those Shamrocks

From the March 16, 2014 Parade Magazine Walter Scott's Personality Parade. Michael G. or Reno asked "Why are shamrocks linked to St. Patrick's Day? ANSWER: "Faith and begorrah, 'tis a reflection of the March 17 holiday's religious roots. Legend has it that fifth-century missionary St. Patrick, agent of Christianity in Ireland, used clover leaves to explain the concept of the Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit." So, it had nothing to do with Shamrock Shakes. Right, McDonald's? -- O-Cooter
