What makes Fatima special? On arriving the visitor can not help but notice that the area and its inhabitants remain humble and simple. There is an immediate sense of calm, particularly when entering the shrine area. It is not the grand Basilica that draws the pilgrim to prayer, but rather the simple Capelinha, site of the actual apparitions. It is here that pilgrims drop to their knees in front of the statue where Mary, Our Mother, made her requests to the 3 shepherd children; pray, repent, amend and sacrifice. Her specific prayer of choice? The daily recitation of the Rosary. And her promise? World peace, the total conversion of Russia and the interior conversion of individual souls. Fatima offers hope to a tired world. It is the only Marian Shrine where a public miracle, “the dancing sun”, witnessed by thousands of onlookers, proved its authenticity and continues to offer pilgrims from every walk of life spiritual renewal.
