Fatima Prophecies
On May 13, 1917 a luminous Apparition of the Virgin Mary appeared to three
peasant children and delivered a prophecy that would change the world.
Investigations into the Fatima event have proved that the miracle of October 13,
1917 was seen over an area of 32 miles by 20, an area of over 600 square miles.
The three children - Lucia, Jacinta and Francisco took their flock of sheep to a
natural hollow in the ground known as the Cova da Iria to graze, just outside
the town of Fatima in Portugal.
While the sheep were grazing the children began to play, suddenly there was a
flash of lightening and the children looked up, bewildered into the sky.
The day was quiet pleasant and there was no sign of a storm but they started to
gather the sheep thinking a storm was brewing in the distance when there was a
second flash that caused total concern.
A few yards away stood a Lady of dazzling light!
Their eyes were unable to comprehend the lady's brilliance and beauty as the
children smelled rose.
Through several apparitions the Virgin Mary gave to the children a series of
prophecies that were revealed throughout the years.
At SkyRosaries we are proud to offer a special
selection of custom designed Fatima rosaries by Ghirelli-Italy.
These are the same rosaries that you may find at the Fatima Shrine of Our Lady of
the Rosary in Fatima, Portugal, as Ghirelli designed the official Fatima rosary.
