FATIMA
Fátima is a small Portuguese town located in the district of Santarém, province of Beira Litoral, Portugal.
The origin of the word is the Arabic name Fátima (فاطمة) given to the city at the time of Gharb Al Andalus where part of Portugal was Muslim. This first name is widely used in Arab-Muslim countries because it was used by the daughter of Muhammad.
The town became famous in 1917 when three young shepherds claimed to have repeatedly witnessed a Marian apparition. On October 13, 1917, thousands witnessed the miracle of the sun turning like a silver disc.
The Virgin Mary also delivered a message to the three shepherds. These Marian apparitions justified the creation of the sanctuary of Nossa Senhora de Fátima in Cova da Iria, the site of a famous Catholic pilgrimage. In 2017, Pope Francis travels to Fatima for the pilgrimage. - Wikipedia
