Traditionally, the shamrock is said to have been used by Saint Patrick to illustrate the Christian doctrine of the Trinity when christianising Ireland in the 6th century. However, this is described by the Oxford English Dictionary as "a late tradition", first recorded in 1726, and is probably false. None the less, since the 18th century, the shamrock has been used as a symbol of Ireland in a similar way to how a rose is used for England, thistle for Scotland and leek for Wales.

St. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland but was born in Great Britain when it was ruled by the Roman Empire.

A popular associated with Saint Patrick is that he banished all the snakes from Ireland. In reality, Ireland didn't have snakes. Although Saint Patrick has never been canonised by a Pope, he is on the List of Saints.
