The protagonists of this story are three young shepherds of modest backgrounds who lived in the town of Fatima. Her name is Fatima in honor of a Portuguese girl, a Muslim-born Christian marriage, died young, she was buried in the church of the village. The three shepherds were martyred brother, Francis (b. 1908) and Jacinta (b. 1910) and the larger cousin Lucia dos Santos (born 1907).
The miraculous events took place in the immediate vicinity of Fatima, in a place called Cova da Iria, in which Lucia's family owned a pasture. The three were respectively eight, seven and ten years at the time of the events were totally unaware of the exceptional scope of what they lived, but had clear perception of supernatural love that they were investing . Because of their innocence messages from the sky could be the result of their personal fantasies.
Before the Marian apparitions there were several warning signs that prepare children for what they were to live . In 1915 Lucia and three companions, were in the mountains to graze, while they saw the rosary, over and above the trees, a figure that gave off a great light, the phenomenon was repeated at other times.
In 1916 Lucia , Along with Jacinta and Francisco, he saw a figure "pure white" that was their meeting : was an Angel who appeared to them three times that year, to prepare the visit of the Virgin. He called himself the Angel of Peace , had the appearance of a teenager and invited them from time to time, to recite the prayers with him, or to observe the practice of sacrifice. The last time came down from heaven to give them mystical communion, handing the consecrated Host to Lucia and Blood of the glass to Francisco and Jacinta.
May 13, 1917: was on Sunday. After Mass, the three children came up with the flock and went so far as the Cova da Iria. After the usual recitation of the Rosary, a flash of light in the sky made them fear the arrival of a storm, gathered his flock in a hurry to resume the way home. A second sudden glow around a holm oak and appearance of a female figure, a beautiful young woman , forced them to stop. In their words, the vision is clear: it is a very bright picture that does not dazzle, dressed in suit coat and white and edged with gold, joined hands to make a rosary.
Pastorelli I asked who he was and what he wanted, she said, \u0026lt;\u0026lt;I come from heaven and I want every 13 days over the next six months to come here to this same time: then I will tell you who I am and what I want>>. He invited them to recite the Rosary daily for the salvation of sinners and by the end of the war, since God was offended and demanded reparation, but that was to be offset their heralded by the Grace of God
Five other appearances have followed until 13 October, although August 13 is not the apparition was because the three children were tried and imprisoned by the authorities. The Mayor (under pressure from senior politicians) had fear of the many pilgrims who flocked to Fatima and the consequences of those events that would change the company until then "maintained" in a stupor of "peace"! The apparitions took place August 19 in a different, more secluded, right here, Our Lady told the children she wanted a chapel in Cova da Iria.
From a small chapel was born one of the most important shrines of the world . Our Lady has asked that the Pope Lucia, along with all the bishops of the world would have had the task of consecrate Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary . In 1984 John Paul II (along with all the bishops of the world), consecrated the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, with clear reference to Russia.
In 1989, when asked if they were finally fulfilled all the desires of the Virgin , Sister Lucia replied yes. You know what followed the end of the historic Russian communism and the fall of the Berlin Wall.
