Legend tells us that St Patrick used the shamrock to convert King Aengus.  He was the first king to be converted to Christianity. This took place at the Rock of Cashel, Co Tipperary.  At the moment of baptism, the devil became angry and tried to escape Ireland but was slowed down by the Sleive Bloom Mountain so he took a bite out of the mountain, and when he reached the other side he spat it out, leaving a huge gap. This gap can be seen on the north side of the mountain and is known as “the Devil’s Bit” and is one of the most visited sites in Ireland.
