The Shamrock is made up of three rounded-edges which makes it easily identifiable in any garden. The clover as on the Glasgow Celtic Football badge is made up of Four separate leaves. Okay, What does it mean!. The three parts of the Shamrock was used to represent the Holy Trinity of the Christian God. Each part of the Shamrock is used to signify a part of the trinity. The Holy Spirt, Jesus and God. Now, the Trinity is difficult for even the most learned of theologians. If I could give you my understanding of it, I would define it the same way St Patrick did in using the Shamrock to teach the druid/pagans of pre-Christian Ireland.
St. Patrick used the shamrock to explain the Catholic teaching of the Trinity: the shamrock has one stem and three leaves; it is one plant with three parts- like how God is one God with three Persons, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
When St. Patrick taught the pagans in Ireland in 431, he used plants for demonstrations. For his lesson about the Holy Trinity, he used the shamrock leaves for explanation.
The shamrock is a symbol of Ireland. It is said to have been used by Saint Patrick to illustrate the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, otherwise known as the Holy Trinity.
If you are talking about the clover and its three leaves each leaf represents something the first represents "The Father" then theirs "The Son" and then "The Holy Ghost" hope this helps
