Shamrock as Totem ~ Sacred and Secular: What do the shamrock and the fleur-de-lis have in common? They have been used by two different European cultures as symbols of the Christian Trinity.

If you did a census of cemetery emblems, would you find more three-leaf clovers or trefoil lilies? Happy St. Patrick's Day. Sacred Heart Cemetery. [2013]
