Knock is a village in the northern part of Ireland famous for the
Marian Shrine.
The Marian Shrine
On
the evening of 21 August 1879, at about 8 o'clock in the evening, 15
people, whose ages ranged from 5 years to 75 and
included men,
women, teenagers and children, witnessed what they
claimed was an apparition of Our Lady,
Saint Joseph, and Saint
John the Evangelist
at the
south gable end of this small parish church in Knock, the Church of
Saint John the Baptist.
Nearby there is a new,
large basilica, Our Lady Queen of
Ireland. It was completed in 1967.
