In 1917, three children in Fatima, a town in Portugal, said that the Virgin Mary appeared to them. More than a century later, their story continues to impact the entire world.
Hence the great expectation for the premiere of Fatima, the new film by Marco Pontecorvo that recreates the encounters of the brothers Francisco and Jacinta and their cousin Lucia with the mother of Jesus. It also revolves around the consequences the story of these children generated in their community, the Church and the Catholic parishioners.
A presence that would change everything forever
Reactions to this revelation were most varied. Some responded in disbelief and even anger, while thousands more marched to Fatima in search of a miracle from the mysterious lady the children were talking about.
The Church then recognized the apparitions as true and Fatima currently receives 5 million visitors per year, positioning itself as one of the most popular pilgrimage destinations.
Written by Andrew Hindes, Fatima marks a milestone in a captivating story that will move once again not only believers around the world.
