Lacky Ó Máille (fl. 18th century) was an Irish friar and poet. Ó Máille, called "the troubled friar" by Brien O'Rourke, was a native of Partry, County Mayo. He was expelled from a seminary "for rakish behaviour" by his cousin, an Athair Maolmhuire Ó Máille. This event inspired the first of two songs of his, both titled ''Leaici an Chuil Bhain''. He married a Widow Badger who ran an inn near Partry, but she was troubled by the unseemingly attention he paid to other women. Few of his poems and songs have survived.

Knock, County Mayo
Knock (, meaning ''The Hill'' – but now more generally known in Irish as ''Cnoc Mhuire'', "Hill of (the Virgin) Mary") is a village in County Mayo, Ireland. Knock is also a civil parish in the ancient barony of Costello. It is notable as the location of Knock Shrine - a Marian shrine and place of pilgrimage. According to Catholic beliefs, Mary, mother of Jesus, Saint Joseph and Saint John the Evangelist appeared to witnesses in the village on 21 August 1879. There is international skepticism of this event due to the age of the witnesses and the lack of evidence supporting the event. In the 20th century, Knock became one of Europe's most visited shrines to the Virgin Mary, along with Lourdes and Fatima. It was a focus of peace pilgrimages in Ireland during the Second World War, when the faithful prayed for peace. One and a half million pilgrims visit the shrine annually. In 1979, on the centenary of the apparition, Pope John Paul II visited the shrine. On 26 August 201 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
