The shamrock: The Druids of the British Isles believed that four-leaf clovers, which are rare, enabled people to see witches and evil spirits. When trying to convert the Irish to Christianity, St. Patrick used the three-leaf clover to demonstrate the three branches of the Holy Trinity.
The parade: On March 17, 1762, in New York City, a group of Irish soldiers serving in the English Army were on their way to a tavern when, on a whim, they started marching. With banners raised and drummers drumming, their spontaneous display delighted onlookers and began a tradition that evolved into the St. Patrick’s Day Parade.
