Fátima

Event 3 stories, 1917 to 1981

A field near Fátima called the Cova da Iria. Between May and October 1917, three children reported six monthly apparitions of a Lady there. Their names were Lúcia dos Santos, Francisco Marto and Jacinta Marto. They promised that on 13 October the Lady would perform a miracle. Fátima later became the benchmark for other cases. Zeitoun in 1968 is often compared with it, and devotional writers compare the dancing sun at Kibeho, Rwanda, to Fatima.
