Clover is a young twig, used as a symbol of Ireland. Saint Patrick, Ireland's patron saint, is said to use it as a metaphor for the Christian Trinity. The name clover comes from seamr of Ireland? g. Is it Irish seamair? G in small letters means "young clover".

Clover usually refers to Trifolium dubium Or Trifolium repens (white clover, Irish: seamair BH? n）。 However, other clovers (such as alfalfa, clover and oxalate ox) are sometimes called clovers. Traditional use of clover as a medicine is a popular Victorian pattern.

The term shamaer comes from seamair g or young shamaer, and a reference to semair or shamaer appears in early Irish literature, usually described as a flowering shamaer plain. For example, in a series of medieval metrical poems about various parts of Ireland, called metric dindshenchus, a poem about tailtiu or teltown of catmill describes it as a plain flowering clover (MAG scothach scothshemrach). Similarly, another story tells how St. Brigid decided to stay in Co. Kildare when he saw the scoth shemrach covered with clover. However, the Irish literature does not distinguish clover from clover. Only English clover is a unique word.

In 1571, Edmund Campion, a scholar of Queen Elizabeth, first mentioned clover in English. Campion describes the habits of "wild Irishmen" in his "Irish history Bok" and points out that Irishmen eat clover: "clover, water CRE, rooting and other herbivores". The idea that Irish people eat clover has been widely repeated in later works, which seems to be confused with the Irish word "seam" or "or oar grass" (Oxalis). There is no evidence from any Irish source that the Irish ate clover, but there is evidence that the Irish ate wood. For example, in the Irish work of the middle ages, but Shui bhne (Sweeney's fanaticism), the crazy King Sweeney was crazy, living in the hermit's woods, and listed the wood pulp grass among the plants on which he lived.

Traditionally, St. Patrick is said to have used clover to illustrate the trinity of Christianity in the Irish era of the 5th century. The first evidence of a link between St. Patrick and Clover appears at the 1675 St. Patrick copper mine or halpennis. These seem to show the image of St. Patrick preaching to the crowd with clover, probably explaining the doctrine of St. Trinity. In pagan Ireland, there are a large number of three people, and Irish people have many triple gods, which may help St. Patrick preach the gospel. Patricia Monaghan said: "there is no evidence that clover or or or milkweed (both called clovers) are sacred to the Celts.". However, Jack Santino speculated that "Clover may be related to the earth and regarded by the Druids as a symbol of the regenerative power of nature However, today's clover has its significance no matter what its history is as a folk symbol. A Christian background. St. Patrick's picture depicts him driving snakes out of Ireland with a cross in one hand and driving them out with clover twigs in the other. "We may see St Patrick's use of clover to explain the concept of vision in Trinity," wrote Roger homan Why St. Patrick preached that Celts needed to explain the concept of triple gods is not clear (as we all know, pagan Ireland once worshipped two independent triple goddesses).

As Saint Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland, clover has been used as a symbol of Ireland since the 18th century, similar to the use of British rose, Scottish Thistle and Welsh Narcissus. In the turbulent politics of the late 18th century, clover first changed from a symbol purely associated with Saint Patrick to an Irish national symbol, which was used as a symbol by rival militias. On the one hand, the Volunteer Army (also known as the Irish Volunteer Army), a local militia in Ireland in the late 18th century, was raised to defend Ireland from the threat of the French and Spanish invasion of the revolutionary war when American regular soldiers withdrew from Ireland to fight. On the other hand are revolutionary nationalist groups, such as the United Irishmen.

Among the volunteers, examples of using clover include its appearance on the shield of the Royal Green Lin cavalry composed of green knights in July 1779, and its appearance on the flag of Limerick volunteers, Castle thunder goblin and braids. The Irish allied army uses green as its revolutionary color and wears green uniforms or ribbons, and the green is often associated with clover Get up. The song "wearing of the green" commemorates their achievements, and there are various versions referring to clover. The flag of Erin go bragh was used as its standard, often depicted with clover, and in 1799, a revolutionary magazine named the shamroc appeared briefly, supporting the objectives of the rebellion.

Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, clover continued to appear in a variety of environments. Clover, for example, appears as a decorative motif in many buildings in Ireland, such as the facade of the kildale Street Club Building in Dublin, St. Patrick's Cathedral in Alma, and the harp and lion bar in christwell, a Kerry company. It also appears on street furniture, such as the old light standards on the Mountjoy square in Dublin, as well as the Parnell Memorial and O'Connell Memorial on the O'Connell street in Dublin. Clover also appears on decorative items such as glass, porcelain, jewelry, poplin and Irish lace. For example, belleek pottery at Fermanagh often has a clover pattern.

Clover is also found in a variety of voluntary and non-state organization signs in Ireland, such as the Irish farmers' Association, the Irish scouts' Association, the Irish scouts' guide and the Irish kidney donors' Association. In addition, many sports organizations representing Ireland use clover in logos and logos. Examples include the Irish Football Association (Northern Ireland), the Irish Rugby League, Irish swimming, Irish cricket and the Irish Olympic Committee. Clover twigs represent the Derg Yacht Club in port tipperrelli (built 1836). Clover is the official symbol of Irish Football Club clover Rangers.
