BYRNE, MARGRET
“I, Margaret Byrne, live near Knock chapel. I am a sister to Mary Byrne, who has
seen the vision. I remember the night of the 21st of August, I left my own
house at half past seven o’clock, and we went to the chapel and locked it, I
came out to return home, I saw something luminous or bright at the south
gable, but it never entered my head that it was necessary to see or enquire
what it was, I passed by and went home.
Shortly after, about eight o’clock, my niece, Catherine Murray, called me out to
see the Blessed Virgin and the other saints that were standing at the south
gable of the chapel.
I went out then, and ran up to see what was to be seen. I there beheld the
Blessed Virgin with a bright crown on her head, and St Joseph to her right, his
head inclined a little towards Our Blessed Lady, and St. John the Evangelist to
her left, eastwards, holding in his left hand a book of the gospels, and his right
hand raised the while, as if in the attitude of preaching to the people who
stood before him at the ditch.
The Virgin appeared with hands uplifted as if in prayer, with eyes turned
towards heaven, and wearing a lustrous crown. I saw an altar there. It was
surrounded with a bright light, nay, with a light at times sparkling, and, so, too,
were the other figures which were similarly surrounded.” Source
