Description

Shamrock, the emblem synonymous with Saint Patrick, has a very long and colourful tradition. It means many things to different people and can evoke messages relating to national pride, religion, history, celebration etc. In horticultural terms what is Shamrock and why do we wear it on St. Patricku2019s Day? Shamrock, the Irish for a young clover can be found growing wild throughout Ireland. It is worn on the feast day of St. Patrick, 17th March, to represent a link with Saint Patrick, the Bishop who spread the Christian message in Ireland. It is said Saint Patrick used the three leaved Shamrock to explain the concept of the Holy Trinity, (the Father, Son and Holy Spirit), to the pagan Irish during the 5th Century. The tradition of wearing Shamrock on Saint Patricku2019s Day can be traced back to the early 1700u2019s. Westmon Works celebrates the Irish tradition with a beautifully designed suncatcher featuring a shamrock design. The ornament has a metal frame with a faux-glass shatter resistant interior made from a translucent poly resin. Comes neatly packed and ready for gift giving.
