About this image
On May 13, 1917, three shepherd children in Fatima, Portugal -- Lucia dos Santos and her cousins Francisco and Jacinta Marto -- witnessed an apparition of the Virgin Mary that would change the history of 20th-century Christianity. This HD wallpaper depicts the moment of the apparition: Our Lady of Fatima appearing in brilliant white above a small holm oak tree on the Cova da Iria hillside, her hands clasped in prayer, soft divine light radiating from her luminous form. The three small silhouettes of Lucia, Francisco, and Jacinta kneel below in wonder. Mary described herself at Fatima as "Our Lady of the Rosary" and asked for the daily praying of the rosary, devotion to her Immaculate Heart, and the consecration of Russia to her Immaculate Heart. She appeared six times in total, from May to October 1917, culminating in the "Miracle of the Sun" witnessed by approximately 70,000 people on October 13, 1917 -- an event documented by journalists, skeptics, and believers alike, in which the sun appeared to dance, spin, and fall toward the earth before returning to its place. The secrets of Fatima -- three prophetic messages given to Lucia -- gripped Catholic imagination throughout the 20th century. The third secret, kept in Vatican archives until 2000, was revealed by Pope John Paul II to relate to the assassination attempt against him on May 13, 1981 -- the anniversary of the first Fatima apparition. Francisco and Jacinta were canonized by Pope Francis in 2017. The Shrine of Fatima in Portugal is one of the world's great pilgrimage sites, drawing millions annually. Free HD download.
