Our Lady, Queen of Ireland

Our Lady, Queen of Ireland

Our Lady, Queen of Ireland, is used as the term for the shrine to the Blessed Virgin Mary set up following a Marian apparition in Knock, Ireland, in 1879. The island of Ireland is predominantly Catholic, and as the Catholic Church organises on an All-Ireland basis, therefore, Queen of Ireland seems an apt title for such an apparition.
