Photographer’s Note

Santuario Mariano de Fatima. Fatima is one of the most significant sanctuaries in the world dedicated to the worship of the Virgin Mary. At the Shrine site, a new, monumental Basilica is being built to compliment the one that was consecrated in 1953. The one side of the huge Shrine area is the Capelinha das Aparicoes (Chapel of the Apparitions), which houses a statue of Nossa Senhora do Rosario de Fatima, and is the most important place of worship in the Shrine. Fatima’s world fame has increased greatly under Pope John Paul II who is a devotee of Our Lady of Fatima and has visited the Shrine on three occasions.
