For nearly a century, Fatima, Portugal has been one of the most visited Catholic pilgrimage sites worldwide. After Our Lady’s appearance to the shepherd children Lucia, Francisco, and Jacinta in 1917, millions of people have not only heeded the Virgin Mary’s plea to convert to a life of prayer and sacrifice, but also been drawn to the hillside town where she appeared.
