A four leaf clover is said to bring good luck. White clover in particular was held in high esteem by the early Celts of Wales as a charm against evil spirits. Some say that a four leaf clover was a sign of a fairy or elf, which meant that miracles could happen. Others say that the leaves of a clover represent Faith, Hope, and Love and a fourth leaf would mean Luck. And Irish tradition describes the 3 leaves symbolize the Holy Trinity: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The fourth leaf would then represent God’s Grace.
