Original Note:
The association of shamrocks with Eire dates back more than 1,500 years when St. Patrick used the shamrock to teach Trinitarianism to Pagan Celts during the Christianization of Ireland. Giving shamrocks as a gift dates to 1901 and originated with King Edward VII. https://www.rd.com/list/st-patricks-day-good-luck-traditions https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-northern-ireland-64971048 https://www.europeana.eu/en/blog/why-the-shamrock-is-a-symbol-of-ireland
