Our Lady of Fatima is a title given to the Virgin Mary by the Catholic Church, based on reported apparitions of the Virgin Mary to three shepherd children in Fatima, Portugal in 1917. According to Catholic tradition, during these apparitions, the Virgin Mary delivered messages to the children, urging them to pray, make sacrifices, and to spread devotion to her Immaculate Heart.
The first reported apparition of Our Lady of Fatima occurred on May 13, 1917, in a field in Fatima, Portugal. This event is commemorated by the Catholic Church as the Feast of Our Lady of Fatima, which is celebrated on May 13th every year. The feast day is an important date in the Catholic liturgical calendar and is marked by special Masses and devotions in honor of the Virgin Mary.
The messages of Our Lady of Fatima are considered to be important teachings of the Catholic Church. They stress the importance of prayer and devotion to the Virgin Mary as a means of obtaining peace and salvation. The apparitions also included a vision of hell, which serves as a reminder of the consequences of sin and the need for repentance.
In addition, Our Lady of Fatima is associated with the Miracle of the Sun, which is said to have occurred on October 13, 1917, witnessed by thousands of people. The Catholic Church has recognized the Fatima apparitions as worthy of belief, and they have been a source of inspiration and devotion for many Catholics around the world.
The Feast of Our Lady of Fatima on May 13th serves as a reminder of the continued relevance of the Fatima apparitions and their significance for the Catholic faith. It is a time for Catholics to reflect on the messages and teachings of Our Lady of Fatima, including the importance of prayer, devotion, and repentance.
