Where Do Shamrocks, Leprechauns And The Blarney Stone Fit In?

0

St. Patrick used shamrocks, a three-leafed plant, as an analogy for the Trinity showing how three separate elements could be of the same entity. So What Is The Connection With Leprechauns? The name ‘leprechaun’ is derived from the old Irish word ‘luchorpan’, which means ‘little body’. The folklore surrounding the Leprechaun has been coupled with luck and the ‘pot of gold at the end of the rainbow’. The story has its roots from the time when the Danes pillaged Ireland and left their spoils to be guarded by the Leprechauns. This spawned the old legend that if you catch a Leprechaun he will take you to his pot hidden behind a rainbow. The leprechaun also carries two leather pouches tied to his belt: one contains a gold coin, and the other a silver coin. The silver coin magically disappears and returns to the pouch each time it is used. So Why Leprechauns On St Pattys Day? Because they’re Irish! Bye the way… if you catch a leprechaun, you can demand that he takes you to his pot of gold!
