Here is the day we wear the green, kiss the blarney stone and look for four leaf clovers.  Ahh the early days of spring, I loved laying out on the front lawn looking up at the clouds passing by on the warm spring days and I remember sitting out in our lawn looking for the "illusive 4 leaf clover"  I did find a few!!!  We will soon turn our attention away from the last Shamrock and turn our attention to bunnies and Easter eggs.

I found this on “domestiquette” blog.   Here are the meanings of each leaf on the four Shamrock:

4-Leaf Clover and Luck:

· The four leaf clover is a universally accepted symbol of good luck with its origin ages old. According to legend, Eve carried a four leaf clover from the Garden of Eden.

· Druids held the 4 leaf clover in high esteem and considered them a sign of luck. In 1620, Sir John Melton wrote: “If a man walking in the fields find any four-leaved grass, he shall in a small while after find some good thing.

· According to Irish folklore, finding a stem of clover with 4 leaves will bring you good luck, but finding a clover stem with more than 4 leaves will not bring you even more luck.

· The mystique of the four leaf clover continues today, since finding a real four leaf clover is still a rare occurrence and omen of good luck.

What do the 4 leaves symbolize?:

One leaf is for HOPE…

The second for FAITH…

The third for LOVE…

And the fourth for LUCK!
