Myths and legends:
Legend tells that Saint Patrick used three leaves on one stem to explain the concept of the Holy Trinity - the leaves depicted God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

Therefore, clover (Trifolium dubium), or shamrock, has become a symbol of Ireland. On St. Patrick's Day, you should drink at least a glass of alcohol in some Irish bar. There is a so-called "Patrick's Cup" - a unit of whiskey that was drunk on St. Patrick's Day. Tradition instructs to put a leaf of "shamrock" (sour) in a glass before drinking a glass of whiskey. Since then, the people say "Drain the Shamrock" ("Drowning the shamrock").

But clover Trifolium dubium is not unique to Ireland, nor is a strong stout, red hair or rain. Dr. Charles Nelson, a leading Irish botanist, said: “The Irish clover only exists on St. Patrick's Day. On all other days it is just a young clover. Two myths are associated with this variety of clover: they say that it grows only in Ireland and never blooms. But it is found in a wide variety of places, from Tasmania to North America And South Africa. It is likely that it grows under my door.

In a study conducted by the National botanical garden in Dublin, the clover worn on St. Patrick's Day is not one, but four varieties of the plant. Approximately 46% are chasing Trifolium dubium, which does not have the white spots on its leaves that are characteristic of clover. Another 35% wear white clover, Trifolium repens.

It is important that both species are lush greens in early spring. The other two varieties are red clover Trifolium pratense and black porridge Medicago lupulina.

The obscurity of the Irish clover's special status in botany may be due to an Elizabethan scholar, an Englishman with little understanding of the Irish language. John Gerard, who described the plants of Ireland in " General History plants" in 1596, reported on the shamrock, which he found in abundance: "There are different types, the first of which is the meadow shamrock, which in Irish is called Shamrockes. In fact, Gerard did not catch the word, consisting of two: seamair - "clover" and og - "young."

Even the legend of Ireland's patron Saint Patrick seems to have been turned into a propaganda tool. catholic church XVIII century, which adopted the veneration of clover from the Celtic Druids, who considered the four-leaf clover a talisman of good luck.

Legend tells that Saint Patrick used three leaves on one stem to explain the concept of the Holy Trinity - the leaves depicted God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. But there is no evidence of this story in modern documents.

The first mention of the connection between the baptist and clover is found in early XVIII century in the diary of itinerant Protestant Caleb Threlkeld. He wrote: “This plant (white clover) is worn by people on their hats every year on March 17th, the day they call St. Patrick's Day. They say that with the help of the shamrock he explained the mystery of the Holy Trinity.

Indeed, there is some ambiguity about clover in a country that claims to own it. national flower drawn on the jerseys of the Irish football and rugby teams, on the tails of Aer Lingus aircraft, on the stationery of the Irish Tourist Board. But official symbol Ireland - 12-string harp.

The only country where clover is the national symbol is caribbean island Montserrat, originally formed as an Irish Catholic colony, where the passport is stamped in the shape of a shamrock.
