Our private English speaking driver guide will meet clients at their hotel at 09.00am. We leave Lisbon towards North through Estremadura province enjoying a landscape of vineyards, cork trees, pine and eucalyptus forests on the way up to Serra de Aire mountain to reach Fatima at the top. Fatima is becoming the most famous pilgrimage shrine in the world dedicated to Marian devotion. Our Lady appeared 6 times to 3 shepherds in 1917 telling them 3 secrets about world policy performance.
We stop close the huge sanctuary where you can visit:The Basilica with the tombstones of the shepherds witnessing the apparitions of Our Lady - Lucia, Jacinta, Francisco.In the Basilica and side chapels or in the new church you can confess, as there are priests in several languages.
The Apparitions’ Chapel - heart of the shrine, built on the place where Our Lady appeared to the shepherds. It’s here that most masses are commonly held in several languages. There’s the statue of the Virgin made at her likeness, according to Lucia's description.Right in front of the Chapel, a source of water came to light. There's a tap near the monument to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, where you can get the pure water to be blessed by a priest.To the left side of the chapel, in the exterior, there is a stone column that points out the place where there the holm oak tree where Our Lady appeared to the shepherds was before. Nevertheless, we can still see a tree from the time of the apparitions, under which the shepherds waited the Virgin. Also, to the left of the Apparitions’ Chapel, you’ll find a spot full of candles where you can light a candle and make a vow to Our Lady; not far, is the main Office of the Information Service, where you can get all the information you want about Fatima.House of Our Lady of the Pain - Situated behind the Chapel of Apparitions, it is destined to receive the Sick during the great pilgrimages.On the floor of the vast square, there is a marble passage crossed by pilgrims on their knees until they reach the Apparitions’ chapel to ask physical and spiritual heal from Our Lady or fulfill a promise.Aljustrel - 3 Km away from the sanctuary there is the house of Marto family, where Jacinta and Francisco were born. Lucía's house is close by, next to the well where the angel appeared for the second time. We’ll stop nearby and you can go inside the 2 houses and see how the shepherds used to live. |
