Statue of Our Lady Fatima in Wood with crown

Info zur Skulptur "Statue of Our Lady Fatima in Wood with crown"

In 1917, between May and October our Lady of Fátima appeared six times three young Portuguese children on a field, the Cova de Iria, near the small village of Fatima, about seventy miles north of Lisbon. Children who could neither read nor write and grew up in abject poverty. Fátima is located about 50 km from the Atlantic Ocean, in an area without any beautiful landscape that could lure a stranger there.
The Mother of God, entrusted to the children three secrets, and requested to talk about it, only when heaven gives permission. Jacinta Marto and Fransicso Marto have died as children. Lucia dos Santos entered a convent and became very old.
How can it be, so many people ask that our Lady appears at odd places often to children and not at the Vatican or on a market places amidst cities? We are bound to believe that God knows what He is doing. We are perhaps to receive first of all the message that we are and insignificant - and that is why we are addressed by St. Mary, who experienced enough suffering in her own life and helps us when we trust. Our Lady of Fatima will help us, we can be sure. In her last appearance on October 13, more than 30 000 people have witnessed the sun miracle. It was her gift to all who need signs to believe. Far better is to trust and to pray.
