The Papal Gift to Knock Shrine On the occasion of his historical visit to Knock Shrine, Pope Francis gifted a set of beautiful rosary beads. The rosary beads are now on display along with the Golden Rose that was gifted to the Shrine by Saint Pope John Paul II during his visit in 1979. Also on display is the Papal candle that was lit by His Holiness at the Apparition Chapel just before he sat in silent reflection at the site of the Apparition. The beautiful floral display was the work of Anne Lavin and the Shrine gardening team. The display was crafted with a hollowed-out trunk of a storm-damaged tree carved by local man, Tom Cunnane and his son Thomás, also on display in the Apparition Chapel. The Papal Chair can be viewed at Knock Museum (open daily 10am-6pm).
