The meaning of St Patricks decorations
St Patricks decorations, shamrocks refer to three green leaflets on a stem. It is believed that during a religious debate St Patrick plucked a shamrock to demonstrate the meaning of the Christian Trinity.
Irish priest and a missioner, St Patrick used three leaves held together by a single stem to explain the concept of the Holy Trinity, that God was composed of three entities: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Each entity is a part of the other, just like shamrocks have three leaves on a single stem.

St Patricks Day legends
Saint Patrick banished all snakes from the island. He ordered snakes to come to a high hill, and when they all got their, he ordered them to leave the country. One big snake refused to leave the homeland, then St Patrick lured it into the big box and threw into the sea. True or not, but there are no snake on Irish land.
It is also believed that Saint Patrick fasted for 40 days and nights on that hill. God was afraid that Saint Patrick could die before fulfilling his purpose in life, and God spoke to him. He told St Patrick to stop fasting, but St Patrick could not agree before God learned St Patricks wishes.
The priest asked God to free Ireland. He wished Irish land would go under the water for seven days at the end of the world and avoid seeing the disaster and the destruction. Also St Patrick asked God to allow him to talk to each of his people on the last day of the world.
St. Patrick was baptizing people and establishing monasteries, schools and churches in Ireland. By the time he died, on March 17, 461 (or 493), he left behind the organized church on the island of Christians. That’s why shamrocks are meaningful Easter, St Patricks Day or Christmas gifts and table centerpieces. The date he died has been commemorated as Irish St Patrick’s Day ever since.
