More than 70,000 people witnessed the Miracle of the Sun at Fatima — but Heaven was not putting on a spectacle.
According to Sister Lucia, Fatima was a warning: a call to repentance, conversion, and prayer meant for the world today.

On October 13, 1917, believers, skeptics, journalists, and government officials gathered at Cova da Iria in Portugal. In pouring rain, they witnessed the sun move, spin, and plunge toward the earth — an event now known as the Miracle of the Sun, one of the most documented supernatural events in modern history.

The O Antiphons Explained — the Church’s hidden Advent countdown to Christmas that most Catholics have never been taught.

Most Catholics associate Fatima with the Miracle of the Sun witnessed by tens of thousands.
