Fatima is a small town in
Portugal located north of Lisbon. It is a major Catholic pilgrimage
site because of reported sightings of the Virgin Mary in 1917 by
three local shepherd children. The terrain around the village is
wild and barren; a stark contrast with the fervent devotion of the
millions of pilgrims that visit each year, especially for the main
festivals on May 13 and October 13. The Shrine of Our Lady of Fatima
is one of most famous Marian shrines in the world. Some four million
people visit Fatima each year, drawn by apparitions of the Virgin
Mary reported by three local shepherd children in 1917.
