L\u00facia dos Santos was 10. Her cousins Francisco Marto was 9 and Jacinta Marto was 7. Shortly after midday, they reported seeing a woman standing above a holm oak tree \u2014 luminous, dressed in white, asking them to return on the 13th of each month for six months.<\/p><p>They came back. And each time, the crowd around them grew. By the final apparition on 13 October 1917, approximately 70,000 people had gathered in the same hollow \u2014 including secular journalists and people who had come specifically to disprove the story.<\/p><p>What those 70,000 people saw, or reported seeing, became known as the Miracle of the Sun.

They were three distinct individuals with different personalities, different fates, and different roles in what followed.<\/p><p>L\u00facia de Jesus Rosa dos Santos was born on 22 March 1907 in Aljustrel, a hamlet of approximately 50 families near F\u00e1tima in the Our\u00e9m municipality, Santar\u00e9m district. She was the youngest of seven children. By all contemporary accounts she was the most articulate of the three and the primary communicator during the apparitions \u2014 the one who spoke to the Lady and relayed the messages. She would go on to write four memoirs documenting the events, the last completed in 1941. These memoirs are the primary source for most of what is known about the apparition content.<\/p><p>Francisco Marto was born on 11 June 1908. He was L\u00facia&#8217;s first cousin. During the apparitions, Francisco reported that he could see the Lady but could not hear her \u2014 L\u00facia relayed what was said. By contemporary accounts he was quiet and interior in temperament. He died on 4 April 1919, aged 10, of pneumonia during the 1918\u20131919 influenza pandemic \u2014 one of an estimated 50 million deaths worldwide in that outbreak. He did not live to see the Church&#8217;s formal response to the apparitions.<\/p><p>Jacinta Marto was born on 11 March 1910, Francisco&#8217;s sister. She was the youngest of the three. She died on 20 February 1920, aged 9, of pleurisy in a Lisbon hospital \u2014 separated from her family, having declined to reveal her location to the doctors because a woman she reported seeing in a vision had told her not to. Whether this detail belongs to history or to hagiography is a matter of interpretation.<\/p><p>Francisco and Jacinta were beatified by Pope John Paul II on 13 May 2000 and canonised by Pope Francis on 13 May 2017 \u2014 the centennial of the first apparition. They are the youngest non-martyr saints in the history of the Catholic Church. L\u00facia was declared Venerable by Pope Francis in 2023, the first formal step toward beatification.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b951666 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"b951666\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"641\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/yellowcabtttours.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/3-Sheperds-of-Fatima-641x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-275339\" alt=\"3 Sheperds of Fatima\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yellowcabtttours.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/3-Sheperds-of-Fatima-641x1024.jpg 641w, https:\/\/yellowcabtttours.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/3-Sheperds-of-Fatima-188x300.jpg 188w, https:\/\/yellowcabtttours.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/3-Sheperds-of-Fatima-768x1228.jpg 768w, https:\/\/yellowcabtttours.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/3-Sheperds-of-Fatima-961x1536.jpg 961w, https:\/\/yellowcabtttours.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/3-Sheperds-of-Fatima-8x12.jpg 8w, https:\/\/yellowcabtttours.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/3-Sheperds-of-Fatima-600x959.jpg 600w, https:\/\/yellowcabtttours.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/3-Sheperds-of-Fatima.jpg 1251w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 641px) 100vw, 641px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-322974b elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"322974b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-e03bf05 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"e03bf05\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2ac0b39\" data-id=\"2ac0b39\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-56e3f60 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"56e3f60\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div><h2>The Six Apparitions \u2014 What Happened Each Time<\/h2><div><p>Most sources mention &#8220;six apparitions&#8221; as a number. What actually happened at each one is rarely laid out clearly.<\/p><p><strong>13 May 1917<\/strong> \u2014 The first apparition. The children saw a flash of light, then a figure they described as a young woman, approximately 18 years old, standing above a holm oak tree (*azinheira*). She told them to return on the 13th of each month for six months. She identified herself, at a later visit, as &#8220;Our Lady of the Rosary.&#8221; A crowd of approximately 60 family members and neighbours gathered at subsequent visits.<\/p><p><strong>13 June 1917<\/strong> \u2014 Second apparition. Approximately 50 people present. The crowd could not see the figure but reported a sound like bees humming and a luminous glow around the children.<\/p><p><strong>13 July 1917<\/strong> \u2014 Third apparition. Approximately 5,000 people present. At this visit the Lady is reported to have revealed the first two of the Three Secrets of F\u00e1tima (see next section) and made a prophecy: that Russia would spread its errors through the world unless it was consecrated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The conditions and implications of this prophecy became a matter of sustained theological and geopolitical discussion throughout the 20th century.<\/p><p><strong>19 August 1917<\/strong> \u2014 The August apparition was delayed from the 13th. Local administrator Artur de Oliveira Santos, a known anti-clerical, had the children arrested on 13 August and held for two days in an attempt to force a retraction. The apparition occurred six days later, near Valinhos, to the three children and their families. Santos became, in a roundabout way, part of the historical record.<\/p><p><strong>13 September 1917<\/strong> \u2014 Fifth apparition. Approximately 30,000 people present. The Lady told L\u00facia that Jesus, Our Lady of Sorrows, Our Lady of Carmel, and Saint Joseph with the Christ Child would appear at the October apparition.<\/p><p><strong>13 October 1917<\/strong> \u2014 The sixth and final apparition. Approximately 70,000 people present. This is the event known as the <a href=\"https:\/\/yellowcabtttours.pt\/blog\/miracle-of-the-sun-fatima\/\">Miracle of the Sun<\/a>. The Lady identified herself as Our Lady of the Rosary and asked for a chapel to be built on the site.

They were written down by L\u00facia in documents she sealed and submitted to Church authorities, with instructions that they not be opened until after her death or until 1960, whichever came first.<\/p><p><strong>First Secret:<\/strong> A vision of hell \u2014 described by L\u00facia as a sea of fire with souls falling in, suffering and screaming. The Lady said this was shown to them so they would pray for sinners.<\/p><p><strong>Second Secret:<\/strong> A prophecy that World War I would end, but that if people did not stop offending God, another worse war would begin. It included a specific condition: that Russia be consecrated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. If this was not done, Russia would spread its errors through the world. The second secret was made known publicly in 1941 through L\u00facia&#8217;s memoirs.<\/p><p><strong>Third Secret:<\/strong> This remained sealed until 26 June 2000, when Pope John Paul II, recovering from the 1981 assassination attempt on his life, authorised its publication. The text describes a vision of an &#8220;Angel with a flaming sword&#8221; and a figure in white \u2014 interpreted by the Vatican as the Pope \u2014 being killed by soldiers. Pope John Paul II and the Vatican officially interpreted this as a prophecy of the 1981 assassination attempt on the Pope, which he survived. Others have disputed this interpretation. The debate has not been formally resolved.<\/p><p>The year 1960 passed without the Third Secret being revealed, which produced significant speculation. Pope John XXIII reportedly read the text in 1960 and declined to release it.

Multiple witness accounts \u2014 including those of secular journalists from Lisbon who had come to debunk the story \u2014 describe the sun appearing to spin, change colour, and move toward the earth for approximately ten minutes before returning to its normal position.<\/p><p>This event is what separated F\u00e1tima from hundreds of other reported apparitions in the same period. The scale of the witness testimony, across believers and sceptics, provided the Church with evidence that was difficult to categorise as simple collective delusion. The correspondent of *O S\u00e9culo*, Avelino de Almeida \u2014 who had written a satirical article about the crowds gathering for the apparition the previous week \u2014 filed a report on 15 October 1917 describing the solar phenomenon as something he could not explain.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/yellowcabtttours.pt\/blog\/miracle-of-the-sun-fatima\/\">The article<\/a> covers the October event in full \u2014 the exact witness accounts, the meteorological context, and the range of explanations that have been proposed.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fb7a874 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"fb7a874\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/yellowcabtttours.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-12-1024x576.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-260377\" alt=\"Basilica of the Holy Trinity, F\u00e1tima \u2014 circular structure 125 m diameter, capacity 9,000; architect Alexandros Tombazis; dedicated 12 October 2007; IABSE Outstanding Structure Award 2009\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yellowcabtttours.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-12-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/yellowcabtttours.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-12-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/yellowcabtttours.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-12-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/yellowcabtttours.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-12-1536x864.webp 1536w, https:\/\/yellowcabtttours.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-12-600x338.webp 600w, https:\/\/yellowcabtttours.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-12.webp 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2356391 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"2356391\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-6c8fbf5 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6c8fbf5\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-aa06a21\" data-id=\"aa06a21\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-be2ae4d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"be2ae4d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div><h2>The Church&#8217;s Response \u2014 Thirteen Years of Investigation<\/h2><div><p>The Church did not immediately validate the apparitions. The formal process took thirteen years and involved specific canonical steps worth understanding.<\/p><p>The Diocese of Leiria began its official investigation of the apparitions in 1922 \u2014 five years after the events. Bishop Jos\u00e9 Alves Correia da Silva established a canonical commission that interviewed witnesses, examined documents, and assessed the theological content of the reported messages.<\/p><p>On 13 October 1930 \u2014 exactly thirteen years after the final apparition \u2014 Bishop da Silva issued a pastoral letter declaring the visions &#8220;worthy of belief&#8221; (<strong>digna de cr\u00e9dito<\/strong>). This is the formal canonical standard for Marian apparitions: not proof that the events occurred as described, but a judgment that they are consistent with Catholic faith and that the faithful may, without error, believe in them.<\/p><p>The distinction matters. The Church&#8217;s declaration was not a statement that the apparitions happened. It was a statement that believing they happened does not contradict Catholic doctrine. The difference is subtle but theologically significant \u2014 and has been the source of significant misrepresentation in popular accounts.<\/p><p>The consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, requested in the second secret, was performed by Pope Pius XII in 1942 and again more explicitly by Pope John Paul II on 25 March 1984, in union with the world&#8217;s bishops. Whether the conditions of the second secret were met by either consecration has been disputed within the Church. It remains an open theological question.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6f37371 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"6f37371\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/yellowcabtttours.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Capelinha-das-aparicoes-min-3-1024x576.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-260423\" alt=\"Chapel of the Apparitions \u2014 built 1919 on the exact site of the 1917 Marian apparitions\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yellowcabtttours.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Capelinha-das-aparicoes-min-3-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/yellowcabtttours.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Capelinha-das-aparicoes-min-3-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/yellowcabtttours.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Capelinha-das-aparicoes-min-3-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/yellowcabtttours.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Capelinha-das-aparicoes-min-3-1536x864.webp 1536w, https:\/\/yellowcabtttours.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Capelinha-das-aparicoes-min-3-600x338.webp 600w, https:\/\/yellowcabtttours.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Capelinha-das-aparicoes-min-3.webp 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e8f4479 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"e8f4479\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-8d18f78 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"8d18f78\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f9e29d5\" data-id=\"f9e29d5\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0a36c4b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0a36c4b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div><h2>What Happened to the Children<\/h2><div><p>The post-apparition lives of the three children complete the historical record \u2014 and are rarely covered in full.<\/p><p>Francisco Marto entered the local primary school briefly after the apparitions, reportedly to fulfil a request he attributed to the Lady, and died of pneumonia on 4 April 1919, aged 10.

The tombs of Francisco, Jacinta, and L\u00facia are inside the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary, in the lateral chapels.<\/p><p>Entry to all three structures is free.
