Search Results for 'Bank Holiday'

Hallowe’en can be great. It’s the last holiday before the roll-out (be it premature) of everything Christmas. Not to mention we get a bank holiday, kids get a couple of days off, we all get to eat sweets, play Hallowe’en games, and everyone can dress up without being judged (mostly)!

Thousands of people flocked to Knock Shrine on Sunday October 11 after a Dublin clairvoyant predicted that the Virgin Mary would appear. Some claimed they saw the “sun dancing” or changing colour. However ahead of tomorrow’s (Saturday) next predicted ‘apparition’, the Archbishop of Tuam Michael Neary has sought to distance the Catholic Church from the event. He said recent events at Knock Shrine, where members of the public believed the Virgin Mary appeared, are to be regretted rather than encouraged.
