The national flower of Northern Ireland is the shamrock (the national emblem of both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland)a three-leaved plant similar to clover. An Irish tale tells of how Patrick used the three-leafed shamrock to explain the Trinity. He used it in his sermons to represent how the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit could all exist as separate elements of the same entity. His followers adopted the custom of wearing a shamrock on his feast day. · When is Ireland patron saint’s day celebrated? · What do people wear on St. Patrick’s Day? · What do they do? · Is St. Patrick ’s Day celebrated only in Ireland? · Is St. Patrick ’s Day only a religious celebration? · Was St. Patrick born in Ireland? · What happened to St. Patrick before he went to Ireland? · Why did he go to Ireland? · Can you tell some of the legends people attribute to this saint? · What’s the national flower or Ireland? · What do people say St. Patrick used this flower for?
