Fatima

Between Porto and Lisbon we passed through Fatima famous for where three children claimed to have seen Our Lady of Fatima and heard Her apparitions.














Looking back from behind the alter where almost 1 million people gather on special occasions. The Pope has also said mass from here.














The position of the Mary statue is the exact position where the children saw Mary in 1917














A gift shop lining the street. It only fits one person at a time - lucky there are 30 of them in a row!!
