Knock (Irish: An Cnoc, meaning The Hill – but now more generally known in Irish as Cnoc Mhuire, Hill of (the Virgin) Mary) is a village in County Mayo, Ireland. Its notability is derived from the Knock Shrine, at which the Virgin Mary, together with Saint Joseph John the Evangelist, and the Lamb of God appeared on 21 August 1879
On the evening of Thursday, 21 August 1879, at about 8 o'clock, fifteen people, whose ages ranged from five years to seventy-five and included men, women, teenagers and children, witnessed what they stated was an apparition of Our Lady, Saint Joseph, and Saint John the Evangelist. The apparition appeared at the south gable end of the local small parish church, the Church of Saint John the Baptist.
Behind them and a little to the left of Saint John was a plain altar. On the altar was a cross and a lamb (a traditional image of Jesus, as reflected in the religious phrase The Lamb of God) with adoring angels.
Two women, passing by the church, first noticed it and summoned what would become a small crowd of 15
The Blessed Virgin Mary was described as being beautiful, standing a few feet above the ground. She wore a white cloak, hanging in full folds and fastened at the neck. The crown appeared of a golden brightness, of a deeper hue, than the striking whiteness of the robe she wore; the upper parts of the crown appeared to be a series of sparkles, or glittering crosses. She was described as deep in prayer, with her eyes raised to heaven, her hands raised to the shoulders or a little higher, the palms inclined slightly to the shoulders.
Bridget Trench went in immediately to kiss, as I thought, the feet of the Blessed Virgin; but I felt nothing in the embrace but the wall, and I wondered why I could not feel with my hands the figures which I had so plainly and so distinctly seen.
Saint Joseph, also wearing white robes, stood on the Virgin's right hand. His head was bent forward from the shoulders towards the Blessed Virgin. John the Evangelist stood to the left of the Blessed Virgin. He was dressed in a long robe and wore a mitre. He was partly turned away from the other figures. He appeared to be preaching and he held open a large book in his left hand. To the left of St. John was an altar with a lamb on it with a cross standing on the altar behind the lamb.
Those who witnessed the apparition stood in the pouring rain for up to two hours reciting the Rosary, a series of traditional Catholic prayers. When the apparition began there was good light, but although it then became very dark, witnesses could still see the figures very clearly – they appeared to be the colour of a bright whitish light. The apparition did not flicker or move in any way. The witnesses reported that the ground around the figures remained completely dry during the apparition although the wind was blowing from the south. Afterwards, however the ground at the gable became wet and the gable dark.

Knock film trailer, Our Lady and the visionaries of Knock, Ireland, new film
From Mary's Dowry Productions comes a new film on DVD - and to download instantly on demand through Mary's Dowry Productions Vimeo channel - about Our Lady and the visionaries of Knock.
In 1879, at the beginning of the Land War, and after 300 years of anti-Catholic persecution throughout Ireland, in a little village called Knock in County Mayo, an apparition of Our Lady, Saint Joseph and Saint John the Evangelist occurred before the astonished eyes of fifteen people. It took place at the south gable end of the small local parish church. A little to the left of Saint John was an altar, upon which stood a cross and a Lamb with adoring angels surrounding. The apparition occurred after and during a time of enormous religious, social, cultural and economic sufferings for the Irish people. The appearance of the Ever Immaculate Mother of God affirmed God’s blessing upon the Catholic faithful of Ireland and Our Lady’s support and comfort in their trials, reminding the people that the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, which for centuries had been attacked, outlawed and abused by the anti-Catholic oppressors of Ireland, is the most central, sacred and important act of worship and the greatest prayer on earth.
In this new film ‘Our Lady and the visionaries of Knock’ we look at the circumstances surrounding the apparition, the fifteen witnesses, Archdeacon Cavanagh who was the parish priest of Knock at that time and step back into Ireland’s past to 1536 when an Apostate Catholic King turned his bitter eyes upon a green emerald country that had once been described as the land of Saints and scholars.
The full film runs for 50 minutes and is available worldwide on DVD, all region formats, from Mary's Dowry Productions online shop today!
