A strange sight on Cork streets - caught on camera-phone by a few people - has raised eyebrows and caused more than a few comments far beyond Leeside.

The "Rosary Mobile" - a car seen cruising Cork's streets blasting out a few decades of the old prayer - was seen on the docks, in Ballintemple and Blackrock yesterday.

And our strangely quiet streets echoed to the sound of Hail Marys and Our Fathes as the Virgin Mary herself kept watch from the roof-rack.

With the city in virtual lock-down - this strange sight was hard to miss and a lot of people were getting their camera-phones out.

Footage of what social media users dubbed "Cork's Mobile Mass" was shot by a number of people, including graphic designer Jack Collins who saw the car cruise past on the docks down by the now-closed Sextant Pub.

Jack's footage went viral and provoked a range of responses, including more than a few people pointing out that in times like these, maybe a little prayer couldn't hurt.
