FlowerDeliveryExpress.com: The Pope and St. Patrick's Day Shamrocks
DETROIT, Feb. 27, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- FlowerDeliveryExpress.com a leading online flower delivery company, clears up a misconception many people may have about Ireland's national flower. A four leaf clover is not a shamrock.
A shamrock, recognized as a symbol of Ireland and the Irish people, and often linked to St. Patrick, is a three leaf clover that is believed to bring good luck. Four leaf clovers are rarer and commonly mistaken for a shamrock. Shamrocks were believed to possess magical properties with its three leaves, as three is a sacred number in numerology. In ancient times they were used by druids to ward off evil spirits. Druids saw the three leaf shamrock as representing body, mind, and spirit. Over time, the shamrock grew to become a symbol of Irish pride.
The shamrock was used, according to legend by St. Patrick, to represent the Holy Trinity of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. St. Patrick was a missionary sent to convert the Irish to Christianity. After his death, St. Patrick was never officially declared a Saint by the Vatican. "Saint" Malachy received official Papal sanction for his work of destroying the Congregation founded by the faithful St. Patrick. The Prophecies of "Saint" Malachy, is a list of Popes from Malachy's day until the end of time that contains 112 Popes, and the present Pope Benedict is number 111. According to "Saint" Malachy, there is only one more Pope to go until Judgement Day!
This St. Patrick's Day you can order a Lucky Shamrock for yourself or for someone else from FlowerDeliveryExpress.com. You don't even have to be Irish!
