Ireland - Close to 10,000 people gathered Saturday at the Basilica in Knock, Ireland, in hopes of witnessing a visitation from the Virgin Mary, as predicted by Joe Coleman, a Dubliner who describes himself as a visionary of the Blessed Mother. Coleman said the visitation would be visible only to those with an open heart. Earlier this month, 5,000 gathered under similar circumstances. Some said they saw the sun dancing in the sky. The first Knock apparition of Our Lady's was in 1879.
The Catholic Archbishop of Tuam, Dr Michael Neary, issued a statement clarifying the church’s view, "It is not healthy, does not give glory to God and...is not good witness to the faith to be looking for extraordinary phenomena."
