� 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.
