Today is the feast of Our Lady of Fatimah
We celebrate the feast of Our Lady of Fatima on May 13th. On this day in 1917, Our Lady made her first appearance to three shepherd children, Jacinta (age 7), Francisco (age 9) and Lucia (age 10), at Fatima in Portugal.
She appeared to them once a month from May through October. The lives of the three children of Fatima were entirely transformed by the heavenly apparitions.
They abstained from innocent pleasures and urged one another to the practice of prayer and penance with an ardor comparable to that of the great saints.
