The as called Knock apparition is believed to have taken place in August 1879 in the village of Cnag, anglicised as Knock, County Mayo; then, just a small group of homes. Mary, thought to be the mother of Jesus appeared by the church, she was dressed in white and praying heavenwards. On her right, according to the villagers present was, they believed her husband Joseph. Now a saint in Christian churches though not much is known about him, particularly in later years. On her left was as said John the evangelist. Now also a saint, and some believe to be the author of the gospel of John. It is documented that some asked, ‘who is he?’ to be told by others: Thought to be John was said to be holding a new testament, now supposed to be called testament of the common era in view of the ecumenical takeover. An apparition of a lamb completed the picture. It was said that the light from the lamb was brighter than the light from the others.
