Of all things Irish, I especially love...
SHAMROCKS! Many a day in my youth was spent laying in a field of clovers, searching for the elusive 4-leaf cousin to the 3-leafed species. Though I never found a 4-leafed clover, I became quite fond of shamrocks.
Originally used by St. Patrick to represent the Holy Trinity in an explanation of Christianity (or so the legend goes), the shamrock has become a symbol of St. Patty's Day. We all know 3 is a magic number, and it is no different here, as a shamrock is said to bring about good luck. Along with the Celtic harp, the shamrock has become a ubiquitous representation of Ireland. So, in addition to your 'Kiss me I'm Irish' pin, why not try to find some 3-leafed clover to accentuate your St. Patty's attire- for luck, for reverance, and for patriotism!
6 DAYS TILL ST. PATTY'S!
