Saint Patrick
Saint Patrick, known as the Apostle of Ireland, was a high-ranking Christian clergyman. His legendary use of the shamrock as an illustration of the Trinity led to its adoption as Ireland's national symbol.

You also may have heard that he drove the snakes out of Ireland as a symbol of goodwill and truth. The truth is that there never had been snakes in Ireland. It's a good story anyway.
