2019/11/20




Religious figure is often used as the decorations for a grave. It manifests the belief of the departed and their wish for the blessing from God. Today, we would like to introduce a unique holy religious image--Our Lady of Fátima, whose story is extraordinary.


The Origin of Our Lady of Fátima


Our Lady of Fátima is another kind of title of the Blessed Virgin Mary by Catholicism. Its roots in the famous Marian apparitions in 1917. The event began on May 17, 1917, in Fátima, Portugal.


Three shepherd children,Lúcia dos Santos and her cousins Francisco and Jacinta Marto are said that saw a lady more brilliant than the Sun at the Cova da Iria in the parish of Fátima, Portugal.


They gave a prophecy that prayer could lead to an end to the Great War, and the Lady will show her identity and perform a miracle on October 13 that year "so that everyone may believe. Lúcia said that the Lady told them three secrets.


The local newspaper reported their prophecy, thousands of people flocks into the town. The provincial administrator Artur Santos thought that the event might lead to political convulsions.


Soon afterwards, he locked them up. To get the secrets, Santos interrogated the children separately. He even prepared a pan of hot oil and threatened to throw them into it unless they divulged the secret.


But he finally gained nothing. Because of the truth of the event, he released the children. In the following month, Lúcia and her cousins saw the Lady at the same time every month. Virgin Mary has shown out six times.


On October 13, a large crowd of around sixty to seventy thousand, containing reporters and photographers, gathered at the Cova da Iria.


Everyone saw a white cloud around the three shepherds. After a shower, the sun appeared like a rotary plate, shining in different colours. Then it fell suddenly but return to the sky in the end. Soon, People found their wet clothes were dried.


The event was called the "miracle of the sun." The Lady shows her identity of virgin mary to Lucia and asked people to repent. Whereafter, she flew to the east and disappeared.


Three Secrets


The three secrets were disclosed in 1941 and 2000, respectively. The first secret is the vision of hell. The soul of man and evil were burned in the fire.


The second secret is about the end of World War I and the prediction of World War II if Russia did not convert.


The third secret is s scene of the death of a pope and some believers.


The Impact of the Event


According to the request of the Madonna, a church was built at Fátima. The church has become a sacred pilgrimage. On May 13 and October 13 each year, about five million pilgrims visit the site.


The Bishop of Leiria-Fátima formally announced that the sight of Fátima was "worthy of belief" in October 1930, formally agreed the belief of Our Lady of Fátima.
