Knock Shrine
Review
Knock Shrine is undeniably one of the most significant spiritual sites within the Catholic Church, steeped in deep reverence and mystery. It’s difficult to put into words what I feel when walking around the grounds, there’s a sense of awe at the devotion of the pilgrims, yet also an overwhelming calm that settles within. In 1879, fifteen people witnessed an apparition here, and following two thorough Church enquiries, their testimonies were found not only credible but completely trustworthy. That miraculous event was just the beginning, thousands
have reported healing and answered prayers after visiting Knock. The shrine hums with faith and quiet devotion throughout the year and the National Novena to Our Lady of Knock in August every year, attended by thousands of pilgrims, sees the Shrine transformed into a vibrant,
moving sea of worshippers. Despite the crowds, there is always space for quiet reflection. Knock Shrine is more than a place, it’s a deeply personal experience that continues to inspire belief, hope and peace.
