In August 18, 1879, 15 people in the village of Knock witnessed the apparition of the Virgin Mary, St. Joseph and John the Baptist, an altar, a cross and lamb at the gable wall of the parish church.
A shrine now stands against this wall with sculptures depiciting this scene.
Outside the shrine is a piece of that original stone wall.
The well manicured gardens, complete with stations of the cross also house a new Bascilica featuring replicas of stone windows from nearby churches and this mosaic of the apparition. 
The entire location offers a serene meditative place to remember the wonders this special time.
