Ireland consistently draws visitors, attracted by its traditionally Catholic culture and history, stunning natural beauty, and lively music and people. The island country is small enough that most of it can be toured by bus, allowing visitors the full flavor of church and monastery, hillside and seacoast, village, and downtown. Annually more than a million and a half pilgrims travel to the shrine of Our Lady of Knock to commemorate the 1879 apparitions of the Blessed Virgin, St. Joseph, and St. John the Evangelist who brought comfort to the oppressed Irish people.
