On this day, long ago, out in Knock,
Some folk got a wonderful shock,
Did they see Heaven’s queen?
Or was the whole scene,
Just a tawdry hysterical crock?
Moving statues on the news, prayer meetings in homes, teens going to religious groups, returning with stories of some dude or gal “talking in tongues”… never made one of those myself, I do remember wanting to to see what the fuss was… and who the hell would’ve needed drugs in those days of the 80s with all that crazy on your door step. It was pure warped boy… bhí mé cabáiste…. I was outta me soul man! :)
well
I recall my dad saying this to me years ago on what it was like.
“There were no moving statues in the North and no UFO’s in the republic.”
Good times, eh!

You could do with getting off your face. Either you or all the rest of us.
I’m a little older now… not sure if it’d be a good idea …for me.
this virgin business is responsible for much of the crap we have to put up with in regards abortion rights and reproductive rights.
How did the witnesses know, the blessed virgins, homies were actually St. Joseph and St. John?
There’s never an ABM, when you need one.
Well it certainly resulted in a buoyant plastic-holy-mary industry.
There’s always money in the blessed virgin stand.
