Knowing the shamrock



According to Wikipedia, the shamrock has been used as a symbol of Ireland since the 18th century, in a similar way to how a rose is used for England.

The first link between St. Patrick and the shamrock appears in 1675 on an image showing St. Patrick preaching to a crowd while holding a shamrock.

The shamrock is worn by people in their hats each year on the 17th day of March, which is called St Patrick's Day.
