The beginning of the story of Our Lady of Knock and Knock Shrine may be traced back to the 21st of August, 1879 in the little village of Knock, which is situated in the western region of Ireland.

The habit of prefixing the family name with O’ or Mac is one of the most identifying characteristics of Irish surnames. This is also one of the most common prefixes. Hereditary surnames were introduced in Ireland at an early date, making it one of the pioneering nations in this regard.

The stunning Celtic term “Anam Cara” may be roughly translated as “Soulmate,” and it refers to a person’s soul mate. ‘Anam’ is the Irish Gaelic term for soul, and ‘cara’ is the translation of the word for friend in Irish (Gaelic).

It does not just depict the coming together of two souls; rather, it expresses a connection that is highly particular and unique between two individuals.
