Quick Stop in Fatima

Fatima is a town that is very famous because in 1917, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to three children telling them if her requests were granted, there would be peace.  Fatima became very famous because of this, as did the three children.  So on our way to Euvora, we stopped to see Fatima.


The cathedral in the center of the square

Two of the tombs of the children Mary spoke to

The area as a whole (thousands of people gather here each month)

A modern nativity scene

A modern cross

Stalls outside the area selling different religious things

After an amazing late lunch in Fatima (best octopus salad ever), we headed to Evora
