Our Lady of FATIMA

I'm sorry for these days. I have been out, but I had to make a surgery at my nose to correct it. I've been in Hospital dos Covôes in Coimbra for four days and now I am resting at home. Now that I am back let's continue visiting our curiosities.

On 13th May went Nossa Senhora de Fátima's day,






Fatima belongs to municipality of Ourem, in center of Portugal.






Fátima's claim to fame is the shrine called the Basilica built to
commemorate the events of 1917 when three peasant children claimed to have seen the "Virgin of the Rosary", Our Lady of Fatima. When the children asked for her name, she said "I am The Lady of The Rosary". The children experienced the purported Marian Apparitions in a pasture called the Cova da Iria near the village of Aljustrel, about a mile from Fátima.



Pilgrimms on foot :
Every years approachig 13th May men and women leave they'r lifes and from all country walk to Fatima, 1,2, 3 days other spend a week, sleeping in tents, only a strong religious spirit to face it.

The "Tray Festival" is an ancient tradition of the city. It originally begun in a little village of the city, called Carregueiros. The population parades in pairs with the girl carrying a tray in its head. The tray is made of 30 bread, either 6 rows of 5 or 5 rows of 6 and its decorated with flowers. At the top of each one we can find a crown which normally contains either the white fowl, meaning the holly spirit or the armilar sphere, a symbol revaluing the Portuguese maritime expansion.
