As Saint Patrick tried to teach the Irish about God and the Trinity, he picked up a shamrock. He explianed that the 3 leaves on the shamrock are like the 3 parts of the trinity: The Father, The Son, and The Holy Ghost. The stem, Patrick explianed, stood for God, who is the beginning of all creation. This visual representaion of the trinity helped the Irish to know and understand God. People began to wear shamrocks on their clothes as a symbol of their Christianity.
