	A Short History of County Mayo
		The extensive tracts of blanket bog in North Mayo County contrast with the mountains further south, and illustrate the diversity of scenic panoramas of the county, which vary from valley to valley.
		The population fell from 172,690 in 1926 to 161,349 in 1936 and 133,052 by 1956.
		There was another honor for Mayo when Ballina-born Mary Robinson (née Bourke), an eminent barrister and former law professor and senator, became the seventh President of Ireland on 3 December 1990, the first woman to hold that office (and the second woman in the world to be democratically elected a Head of State).

	History of the Mayo/Roscommon Hospice Foundation, Ireland
		Support Groups of voluntary fundraisers were set up throughout the two Counties to help generate much needed cash to fund this essential service and also to heighten awareness of Hospice in the community.
		The goal was to provide a Hospice service to care for a population of approximately 167,000, almost 17% of which were over the age of 65 years and covering an area of 3143 square miles which is one ninth the size of the Republic of Ireland.
		However, because of the geographical spread of the two Counties and the lack of good road and transport systems, it was decided that a stand-alone unit centred in Knock would be impractical.

	The Apparition at Knock
		The two apparitions are broadly similar, in that they both took place in the evening and only lasted for three hours or so, and similarly, in both, no words were spoken.
		On the evening of Thursday, 21 August 1879, two women from the small village of Knock, Mary McLoughlin and Mary Beirne, were walking near the local church when they noticed luminous figures at the gable end.
		The symbolism of the lamb, cross and altar has been seen as pointing to the sacrificial death of Christ and the Mass, and yet these were behind Mary in the apparition at Knock, suggesting that the focus was on her and her role as a mediator.
