Our Lady of Fátima

Died: N/A
Feast day: May 13
Patron saint of: Roman Catholic Diocese of Leiria-Fátima, East Timor
Cova da Iria, the place where Mary appeared to Lucia, Jacinta, and Francisco on the 13th of every month from May to October in 1917, is now the Chapel of Apparitions, an open chapel with a statue of Our Lady of Fatima enclosed in glass at its center. Standing on the outskirts of the rocky terrain, we recited the Angel of Fatima prayer: “My God, I believe, I adore, I hope, and I love you. I ask pardon of you for those who do not believe, do not adore, do not hope, and do not love you.”
