EnglishVierge de Fatima
Our Lady of Fatima religious gifts accompany Marian prayer and devotion associated with the 1917 apparitions in Portugal. Statues, rosaries, medals, devotional images and candles can be kept within a prayer space or remain present in daily life. A statue of Our Lady of Fatima provides a particularly visible focus for Marian prayer.
Fatima in Portugal, a major place of Marian pilgrimage
Fatima in Portugal became one of the major Catholic pilgrimage destinations of the twentieth century following the apparitions reported at Cova da Iria in 1917. The encounters took place between 13 May and 13 October 1917. The Sanctuary that developed there now welcomes pilgrims who come to pray to Our Lady of Fatima and spend time in recollection at the places associated with the apparitions.
The history of these events is explored further in our article on Our Lady of Fatima, the apparitions and devotion today.
