My visit to Fatima, Portugal where the apparitions of the Virgin Mary to three shepherd children from May through October 1917

 

In 1916, on three separate occasions, Lucia dos Santos, and her two cousins, Francisco and Jacinta Marto, began reporting apparitions of an angel in the region of  Vallinhos.  According to the children, these blessed visitations began on the 13 May 1917 when, while tending their family's sheep in Cova da Iria, they said they witnessed the apparition of what they later wholeheartedly believed was the Virgin Mary, and began doing penance and self-sacrifice to atone for sinners. Many flocked to Fátima and Aljustrel to witness these declared apparitions along with the children, but not before the children were jailed for being politically disruptive.  These visitations culminated on the 13 October 1917 public Miracle of the Sun event, the children imparted that the apparition of Virgin Mary divulged three secrets to the children. Although the Miracle of the Sun marked the children's last claimed apparition, the region of Fátima continued to be a destination for pilgrims 

Victims of the 1918 fly pandemic epidemic, both siblings, Francisco died on 4 April 1919 and Jacinta Marto died on 20 Feb 1920.  Along with the Three Secrets of Fatima, their stories and that of Lúcia, would be linked to religious construction that followed in Fátima. A small chapel, the Capelinha das Aparições  (Chapel of the Apparitions) was started on 28 April 1919 by local people.
