“It was an incredible time seeing churches and Christians from across the nation come together,” she said.

“We’re all here in unity to celebrate Jesus and to let people know that he is the hope of the world.

“Jesus changed my life and I believe he can change the trajectory of what this nation stands for.”

The event is described as a non-political, family-friendly event to celebrate the Christian faith.

It is organised by Christian Voice Ireland, which is made up of a group of churches and ministers from across the island.

Many of the crowd carried flags and banners bearing slogans such as “Our nation for Jesus”.

Organisers had encouraged people not to bring national flags of any kind to the march.

Luke Dean, who is originally from the United States, travelled from Moira in County Down to take part in the event.
