It is Friday the 13th... does that make you feel superstitious? Not me! But the day brings to mind the different talismans for luck, superstition and warding off evil some dating to ancient times.
According to legend, Eve carried a four leaf clover in the garden of Eden. In addition, each of the four leaves on a clover have a different meaning: One is FAITH... The Second HOPE...The Third LOVE... And the Fourth LUCK! In the Irish tradition the shamrock or 3-leaf clover represents the Holy Trinity: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. However, when a shamrock is discovered With a fourth Leaf, it symbolizes God's Grace. I love that!!
