President Joe Biden’s trip to Knock Shrine

RELIGIONS NEWS AGENCY (REDNA) – President Joe Biden will visit Knock Shrine today, his last personal visit ending a four day trip to Ireland north and south.

Thousands of people visit Knock Shrine in pilgrimage to a place where, in 1879, local villagers saw a vision of the Virgin Mary, St Joseph and St John.

Biden’s prayerful moment will cap a visit where he has met politicians and civic leaders, speaking with encouragement over a bright economic future and shared values between America and Ireland, the land of his forefathers.

He is known for his devout Catholic affiliation.
