Celtic Pewter Pendant Necklace - Shamrock - EIR-237

The word shamrock comes from the Irish word “seamrog”, meaning, “summer plant” and is a three leaved clover. Irish legends about the shamrock include a variety of mystic powers such as a warning of an approaching storm and as a remedy against the sting of scorpions and the bite of snakes. Even the ancient Druids in Ireland revered the plant for the secret meaning in its three leaves - three is the sacred magic number of the Irish and is said to bring good luck. Shamrocks are bright emerald green. This color represents Ireland’s lore and history as “wearing of the green” was a way for the Irish to show their desire for an independent country. Saint Patrick is said to have used the shamrock to illustrate the Christian doctrine of the Trinity and this “wearing of the green”, and the display of shamrocks, is still alive today especially on March 17th, Saint Patrick’s Day. Pendants come on legend cards with a 33" long black cord.
