- 👁️ 11
The national flower of Ireland is the shamrock, a three-leafed plant. It has been a symbol of Ireland for centuries, particularly associated with St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. The shamrock is thought to have been used by St. Patrick to explain the concept of the Holy Trinity to the Irish people. Today, the shamrock is a symbol of national pride and is widely worn on St. Patrick’s Day, celebrated on March 17th, both in Ireland and by Irish communities worldwide.
