英语词汇st patrick-s cabbage的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

St. Patrick’s cabbage. Though native to Spain, Saint Patrick’s cabbage (Saxifrage umbrosa) is found in the mountains of west Ireland as well, for which reason it is named for St. Patrick, archbishop of Armagh, the apostle of Ireland. This ornamental with crimson-spotted petals is also known as London Pride. St. Patrick is said to be responsible for the shamrock being the Irish national emblem. When captured by a pagan ruler while preaching in the country he plucked a shamrock and explained that its three leaves were distinct and separate on the plant, “just as the Trinity is the union of three distinct persons in One Deity.”
