Fatima

Fatima refers to a significant series of events that took place in 1917 in Fatima, Portugal, where three shepherd children reported witnessing apparitions of the Virgin Mary. These apparitions included messages about prayer, peace, and the importance of faith, culminating in the Miracle of the Sun, where thousands witnessed unusual solar activity. The events are central to Roman Catholic devotion, leading to the establishment of the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Fatima, which attracts millions of pilgrims each year. Fatima symbolically represents hope, faith, and divine intervention in the lives of believers.
