Went to knock on St.Paddy's day 2012. Opted for knock as a day trip instead of heading to the pub, I was not sorry. Being a Catholic it was nice to see a shrine to an actual place where Our Lady appeared, and in my own country too! The serenity cannot be put into words, and the chapel of adoration... More

Knock Shrine complex is so peaceful and serene. I love to visit Knock and could spend hours in the Adoration chapel and the Apparition chapel.
