HISTORY OF FATIMA
Between May and October of 1917, three shepherd children, Lúcia Santos and her cousins Jacinta and Francisco Marto reported visions of the Virgin Mary in the Cova da Iria filds outside the village of Aljustrel, very close to Fatima, Portugal.
They had this experience on the 13th day of each month at approximately the same hour.
Lúcia described seeing Mary as "more brilliant than the sun, shedding rays of light clearer and stronger than a crystal glass filled with the most sparkling water and pierced by the burning rays of the sun."
According to Lúcia's account, Mary confided to the children three secrets, known as the Three Secrets of Fatima.
Most important, Lúcia said Mary asked them to say the Rosary every day, reiterating many times that the Rosary was the key to personal and world peace
