Life was very tough for the people of Knock Ireland in 1879. The region had suffered greatly during a potato famine and recovery was not coming easily. In spite of hard times, the faith of the Irish people was unwavering. They were rewarded for their devotion when one rainy night in August, Mary appeared in front of the gable of the local church to give the people hope, consolation and strength. In this unusual apparition, Our Lady appeared with Saint Joseph on her right and Saint John the Evangelist with an open book and wearing a bishop's miter.
