The Miracle of the Sun at Fatima | October 13, 1917 | Our Lady of Fatima

On October 13, 1917, thousands gathered at the Cova da Iria near Fátima, Portugal, following months of reported apparitions experienced by the shepherd children Lúcia dos Santos, Francisco Marto, and Jacinta Marto. What followed became known as the Miracle of the Sun. Witnesses reported extraordinary changes in the appearance of the sun and sky, with descriptions of unusual movement, colors, and light. The event became one of the most famous episodes associated with the apparitions of Our Lady of Fátima. This cinematic episode follows the children, the gathering crowd, the reported apparition, and the extraordinary solar phenomenon remembered by generations of Catholics. Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.
