� Ireland’s National Marian Shrine �
The story of Knock dates back to the 21st of August 1879
when fifteen local people witnessed an Apparition of Our Lady,
St. Joseph, St. John the Evangelist, an Altar, Cross and Lamb
at the south gable of the Parish Church. This Apparition
transformed Knock from a small rural village into what it is today:
an international Shrine of prayer and pilgrimage.
Two Commissions of Enquiry, 1879 and 1936,
found that the testimony of the witnesses was trustworthy
and satisfactory. Every Pope since Pope Pius XII has recognised
and honoured Knock in various ways, the highlight being
the personal pilgrimage of Pope John Paul 11 in 1979
to commemorate the centenary of the Apparition.
Many miraculous cures have been reported
at the Shrine since the Apparition and people still come today
in search of healing, reconciliation and peace.
Part of the original stone from the Gable Wall is preserved
in the outside wall of the Apparition Chapel.
A visit to Knock Shrine is an opportunity to reflect
on the need we all have for God in our lives
whether you choose to: follow in the footsteps of generations
of pilgrims who have circled the Old Church in prayer;
take part in daily ceremonies; visit Knock Museum
and delve into the compelling story of Knock;
or have a quiet mediative stroll around the beautiful gardens.
The Apparition at Knock was a silent one.
Each of us will find our own unique meaning and message.
