Knock,
Ireland "Our Lady of Knock "
The Story of Knock began on the 21st August 1879 when Our Lady, St. Joseph and
St. John the Evangelist appeared at the south gable of Knock Parish Church. The
apparition was witnessed by fifteen people, young and old.
From this miraculous
Apparition Knock has grown to the status of an internationally recognized Marian
Shrine.
The personal pilgrimage of Pope John Paul II in 1979, commemorating the
centenary of the apparition, inspired an even greater devotion to the Shrine and
endorsed the indelible seal of Vatican approval.
Mother Teresa of Calcutta
visited the Shrine in June of 1993. One and a half million pilgrims visit the
Shrine annually.
At SkyRosaries we are proud to offer a special selection of custom designed
Our Lady of Knock rosaries by
Ghirelli-Italy.
These are the same rosaries that you may find at the
Our Lady of Knock Shrine, as
Ghirelli designed the official
Our Lady of
Knock rosary.
