Fatima, Portugal

Fatima Portugal

Since 1917, Fatima has been recognized as a sacred city. It is believed that the Virgin Mary made an appearance to three young shepherds. These apparitions of Mary transformed the city into one of the largest hubs of Marian devotion worldwide. Two massive churches were constructed over a sprawling 1km-long esplanade where the Virgin is said to have appeared, namely the Basilica de Fatima and the Igreja da Santissima Trinidade, which can seat up to 9000 pilgrims. Every year, people of all nationalities and beliefs journey here to affirm their faith and seek miracles. Fatima has become a symbol of Christian Portugal, with the town's heart being its Basilica. Within the basilica lie the remains of two children who claimed to have seen the Virgin; visitors can see the tombs of Jacinta and Francisco. The town's focal point is the Sanctuary of Our Lady Fatima. The most significant gatherings of devotees occur on May 13, during the Farewell Procession. However, the most breathtaking sight is on the night of May 12 during the Candlelight Procession, where thousands of visitors carry lit candles. The town is well-equipped with ample accommodations and hotels to house the throngs of pilgrims, as well as restaurants and shops, primarily selling religious merchandise.
