Knock became a sacred place following the reported apparition of the Virgin Mary, St. Joseph, and St. John the Evangelist to a group of local villagers on August 21, 1879. This event, which involved the witnesses seeing the figures in a gable wall of the parish church, was interpreted as a divine message and led to a surge of faith and pilgrimage to the site. Over the years, Knock has developed into a prominent pilgrimage destination, with the establishment of the Knock Shrine, attracting thousands of visitors seeking spiritual solace and healing.
