Francisco Marto

Francisco Marto was a young Portuguese boy who, along with his sister Jacinta, is considered a saint by the Catholic Church. He is known for experiencing and spreading messages of faith and devotion, particularly related to the Marian apparitions at Fatima in 1917, where the Virgin Mary is said to have appeared to them. Despite his youth, Francisco's piety and humility left a lasting impression. He died at age 10 from illness, but his spiritual significance endures among Catholics, who honor him as one of the visionaries of the Marian messages at Fatima.
