**Introduced 2009**

Shamrock ornament measures approximately 2 1/2", made of mouth blown, hand painted glass.

The Shamrock is a symbol of the cross and the Holy Trinity. It has also been a symbol of Ireland and is said to be used by St. Patrick in his teaching. By showing how the three separate leaves of the shamrock were joined by one stem, he was able to show the people how God could be three in one.
