A time for devotion at Fatima…

If you’re planning on any sightseeing holiday to Fatima, you may be interested that May 13 and October 13 are the busiest times in the Fátima calendar.  Vast numbers of pilgrims arrive on these dates to commemorate the appearances of the Virgin Mary to the three shepherd children.

May 13, 1917 was the date of the first apparition and on October 13th, the Secrets of Fatima were revealed to Lucia Santos.  The 13th day of June, July, August and September are also a time of devotion at Fatima as the shepherd children were instructed to return on the same day each month between May and October.
