CLOVER TRIVIA – THINGS YOU PROBABLY DIDN’T KNOW |
||
|
Universally regarded as a symbol of good fortune, the
four-leaf clover is often thought to represent “the luck of the Irish”. It got it’s “lucky” status from the ancient
Celtic druids who viewed it as a sign of good luck. Although four-leaf clovers exist, these are horticultural
anomalies. The standard clover has
only three leafs. Also known as “shamrock”, the word comes from the Gaelic
“seamróg”, meaning “young clover”. |
According to legend,
St. Patrick used the clover to teach the Celts about the Holy Trinity. (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) In 1907 the three-leaf
clover became the symbol of rural youth clubs around the United States, with
each leaf representing one H – Head, Heart and Hands. Two years later it was
upgraded to a fourth H – Health. This
became the widely known 4-H Club in 1924 when the clubs merged into one
organization. |
In Japan in 2002, an 18-leaf clover was discovered – a
World Guinness World Record.
4-and-a-half times the luck? Even luckier, in 2006 in Alaska, Ed Martin Sr. of Cooper
Landing found more than a thousand four-leaf clovers in a single day! |
