hello! This is the story of a retired couple traveling to Portugal.
Today, among the 16 holy places of apparitions recognized by the Vatican, we tell the story of ‘Fatima’ in Portugal, which is called the world’s three most holy places of apparitions along with ‘Guadalupe’ in Mexico and ‘Lourdes’ in France.
On May 13, 1917, while shepherds 'Lucia' 'Zinita' and 'Francisco' were playing on a stone wall in a meadow in Fatima, a small town in Portugal, a sudden lightning strike and the Virgin Mary on a small oak tree in front of the children. has appeared. After that, the Virgin Mary appeared on the 13th of every month until the ‘miracle of the sun’ occurred on October 13th. In all, there were six apparitions of the Virgin Mary. About 70,000 people witnessed the miracle of the sun. After this apparition was confirmed by the Bishop of Leiria on October 13, 1930 and subsequently confirmed by the Pope, Fatima became a destination for millions of pilgrims.
In Fatima, around the square, there are the Cathedral of Fatima, the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity, and the Chapel of the Apparitions. Today we take you to Fatima, the sanctuary of Our Lady of Apparitions in Portugal.
