Golgotha, was, according to the Gospels, a site immediately outside Jerusalem's walls where Jesus was crucified. Matthew's and Mark's gospels translate the term to mean "place of [the] skull". About a stone's throw away from there is a vault wherein his body was laid, and rose again on the third day. He is Risen! Acts 4:33 With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And God’s grace was so powerfully at work in them all.

The four-leaf clover has come to represent the Holy Trinity, one leaf representing the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit and God’s Grace. The four-leaf clover is considered good luck to find one since your chances of finding one are 1 in 10,000! If you find one, giving it to someone doubles your luck. A golden four-leaf clover stands out against a textured, earthy background. Rich hues of yellow and brown create a sense of warmth and depth.
