Limerick stump: Virgin Mary apparition

July 11, 2009

An apparition of the Virgin Mary in a freshly-hewn willow stump outside Holy Mary Parish Church in Rathkeale, Limerick, Ireland.

An unidentified person places an item at the stump in St Patricks Roman Catholic Church, Limerick, Ireland, Thursday, July, 9, 2009. Thousands of Irish Catholics are flocking to a church to pray at a tree stump _ a recently cut-down willow that many say bears the shape of the Virgin Mary. The phenomenon at St. Mary's parish church in the village of Rathkeale in County Limerick harkens back to decades past when Catholic devotion and pilgrimages were a dominant feature of rural life in Ireland.
