Guided Visit to the Shrine of Fátima
THIS ACTIVITY REQUIRES A MINIMUM OF 2 PARTICIPANTS
Meet your guide, who published a book about Our Lady in 2024 and travels to other Marian shrines, and who has a deep understanding of the history of the apparitions of Our Lady of Fátima and what they symbolized in their time, in the 20th century, and even today.
In 1917, Portugal had a Republican, anti-Catholic government, and the country was fighting in World War I alongside the Allies. Our Lady came to deliver a message that changed not only the country but also humanity. On October 13, 1917, around 70,000 people witnessed the miracle of the sun, and from that moment on, Fátima has remained a place of continuous pilgrimage to this day.
The guided tour begins at the High Cross, next to the Basilica of the Holy Trinity. We will visit the Little Chapel of the Apparitions, the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary of Fátima - where the three little shepherds are buried - the Basilica of the Holy Trinity, the fragment of the Berlin Wall, the Underground Chapels, and the temporary exhibition "Refuge and Path," dedicated to the Centennial of the apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima in Pontevedra.
We will conclude the tour at the Sanctuary's Underground Chapels. Come discover the Message of Fatima.
Peace and goodwill.
