The Irish Shamrock
Legend suggests that St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, was sent to Ireland with a dual mission —to minister to Christians already living in Ireland and begin to convert the Irish people to Christianity. To this end, St. Patrick attempted to demonstrate the meaning of the Holy Trinity to skeptics. Because the Irish people had difficulty believing in something they could not see, St. Patrick reflected for a moment and then plucked a shamrock from the ground, pointing to its three leaves as living proof of the Holy Trinity. He knew of the important role numbers played in Celtic symbolism and three was considered the most sacred and magical of numbers. Three signified totality: past, present and future; love, valor and wit; and the Father, Son and Holy Spirit of the Trinity. Since then, the shamrock has come to be known as a symbol of Ireland.
Crazy About Cabbage
An Irish favorite, cabbage is a versatile vegetable that’s worth considering next time you’re wandering the produce aisle. While it’s low price tag might lure you in, you’ll be even more pleasantly surprised when you bring this cruciferous crunch into your weekly meal line up. Research has shown cruciferous vegetables, like cabbage, provide powerful antioxidant-acting plant compounds such as isothiocyanates that may help in the prevention of cancer.1 Can’t beat that deal!
