Lucia dos Santos

Lucia dos Santos was a Portuguese girl who, along with her cousins, reported experiencing visions of the Virgin Mary in 1917. These visions, known as the Marian apparitions of Our Lady of Fátima, became widely recognized and led to the pilgrimage site at Fátima, Portugal. Lucia became a nun and dedicated her life to religious service, helping to promote the message of peace and faith associated with these visions. Her accounts remain significant in Catholic devotion and have had a lasting spiritual and cultural impact worldwide.
