FOUR LEAF CLOVER

The four leaf clover is a universally accepted symbol of good luck with its origin ages old.   According to legend, Eve carried a four leaf clover from the Garden of Eden.

The true Irish shamrock is actually a clover. The word shamrock comes from the Irish word "seamrog" meaning "little clover". A form of clover called "white clover" or Trifolium repens  forma minus, family Leguminosae, was the original shamrock of Ireland.

One leaf is for Hope
The second for Faith
The third for Love
The fourth for Luck
It is said that finding on on St. Patrick's Day
will bring the bearer twice the luck.
