Marian apparition · Fátima, Portugal
Our Lady of Fátima
From May to October 1917 Mary appeared to three shepherd children at the Cova da Iria, asking them to pray the Rosary every day to obtain peace and the end of the war. Between 50,000 and 70,000 people witnessed the Miracle of the Sun on 13 October. The bishop of Leiria declared the apparitions worthy of belief in 1930.
