Ireland: Waning faith

Religious paraphernalia is seen for sale outside Knock Shrine, a major pilgrimage site in Knock, Ireland, where millions believe the Virgin Mary appeared in 1879. Despite the general population showing outrage for the treatment of infants at the hands of local Catholic institutions, and other scandals involving the church, Catholic devotion and faith is still very prominent in this part of the country.
