A Pilgrimage to
Fatima
The Cova da Iria
The Cova da Iria was land belonging to Lucy dos Santos' family
where the three children frequently pastured their sheep. It was here that Our
Lady appeared to the three seers six times and gave Her Message to the
world.
Of the Cova, Frère Michel, one of world's greatest
experts on Fatima has written: "This choice of place [was] neither the product
of chance, nor of the imagination of three illiterate children. [In] this
choice of place...the inspired plan of the most frequented pilgrimage in the
world is already traced out."
