A point- or leaf- to ponder on St. Patrick's Day

A shamrock with four leaves is like a Star of David with five points.

It isn't one.

The whole significance of the shamrock is that St. Patrick used it to illustrate the Holy Trinity to the pagan natives of Ireland. A four leaf clover is a symbol of good luck, but it has nothing whatsoever to do with either Ireland or St. Patrick.

Just sayin'.
