Pilgrimage to Knock

After leaving Sligo, we went to the small town of Knock where Our Lady appeared in 1879.  Beside Our Lady appeared Saint Joseph, Saint John the Evangelist, and a lamb on an altar, representing Our Lord.  Statues occupy the site of the apparition:

A great vestment in the museum:

My friend Sabrina from Belfast was in Knock on pilgrimage, and she made fish and chips for Chris and me:

The Lacken family - a wonderful Catholic family that hosted us during our stay:
