A Pilgrimage to
Fatima
Valinhos
The fourth time Our Lady appeared was at the pasturage at Valinhos
on the 19th of August, 1917. Coming to the children, shortly after they had
been abducted and unjustly imprisoned in the nearby town of Ourem, the Blessed
Virgin told the seers that they must continue going to the Cova da Iria on the
13th of each month.

It was on this spot that the Mother of God told
the children: |
"In the last month, I will
work a miracle so that all may believe. If you had not been taken away, the
miracle would have been even greater."
The present monument (pictured) was built by Hungarian
Catholics persecuted by Communists for their faith and was publicly opened on
August 12, 1956.
