1986 apparition

The 1986 apparition refers to the reported appearance or vision of the Virgin Mary by three children in Fatima, Portugal. This event was part of a series of Marian apparitions that began in 1917, where the children claimed to see, hear, or receive messages from Mary. The 1986 apparition reawakened public interest, leading to renewed religious devotion and pilgrimage. These apparitions are considered by believers as miraculous theological events, emphasizing messages of peace, prayer, and repentance, and are widely recognized within the Catholic Church as a significant spiritual occurrence.
