The statuary [beeldhouwwerken] in the Apparition Chapel...
consists of brilliant white Carrara marble carvings...
of Our Lady with St. John the Evangelist to her right...
and St. Joseph to her left.
The Lamb is placed in the centre of the chapel...
on an altar surrounded by beautifully carved angels.
Careful consideration was given to designing the scene...
to replicate the Apparition as described by the fifteen witnesses...
and in interviews with Mary Byrne O’Connell in the 1930’s.
The figures were sculpted by the renowned Italian sculptor
Professor Lorenzo Ferri, in 1960.
The statuary was commissioned...
by the Knock Shrine Society.
