    Saint Patrick's day is a great feast in Ireland. Every Catholic wears shamrock to honour Saint Patrick. It was he that first made use of the little plant in Ireland, when he was teaching the true faith to the people. He told them that there was only one God in three divine persons. They did not believe in God until he pulled this plant, and showed them three leaves on one stem and then they believed it.
