Fatima Pilgrimage

On 13 May 1917 the Virgin Mary made her first visit to three shepherd children. Fatima was the place, and now 4 million Roman Catholics make the pilgrimage here each year. White handkerchiefs are waved to bid farewell to the Virgin Mary after she has made her way through the town in a candlelit procession. Book your accommodation well in advance.
