HAPPY ST. PATRICK DAY: Pizazz Florals & Balloons store employee Amy Lewis arranges shamrocks on the rack for St. Patrick Day. The shamrock is the traditional icon of the St. Patrick Day. It comes from Irish tale about how Patrick used the three-leafed shamrock to explain the Trinity. He used it in his sermons to represent how the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit could all exist as separate elements of the same entity. His followers adopted the custom of wearing a shamrock on this day.
