Our Lady of Fatima is a Roman Catholic title given to Mary, the mother of Jesus, after three shepherd children in Fatima, Portugal witnessed what was believed to be an apparition of Mary.

00:13

A bright vision of a lady, only three feet tall, told the children to pray the rosary every day to bring peace to the world and an end to the war.

00:21

This was in 1917, and altogether the vision appeared to them six times between May 13th and October 13th.

00:27

During that last appearance, many thousands of people claimed to have witnessed the miracle of the sun, in which the sun appeared to dance or zigzag in the sky.

00:35

Thousands of others, even among believers, said they saw nothing at all. The lady prophesied to the children, telling them of future events.

00:42

She said two of the children would soon be taken to heaven, and indeed the two younger children died a couple years later of the

00:48

Spanish flu. She said World War I would soon end, but if people did not stop offending

00:53

God, a second worse war would come. And she gave them a prayer and a vision of hell. The thing is, though, these so -called prophecies were not revealed until long after they happened.

Lucia, the oldest of the children, grew up to become a nun, and she did not reveal these secrets until the 1940s.

01:09

Lucia herself wrote that she first believed the apparitions were of the devil. And no wonder, scripture says, for even

01:15

Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. Italian priest John DeMarchi wrote a book called

01:21

The Immaculate Heart, the true story of Our Lady of Fatima. And though he celebrated the story as miraculous, he revealed this false prophecy.

01:29

The children insisted that the lady told them World War I would end on October 13, 1917.

01:34

But it did not end for another 13 months. Whatever Our Lady of Fatima was, it was not

01:40

Mary. For the real Mary would not prophesy falsely, nor would she ever tell anyone to pray to her or build her a shrine.

01:47

But millions of people journey every year to visit the sanctuary of Our Lady of the Rosary of Fatima, and the legend has had a huge influence on Marian worship.

01:56

Jesus said, it is written, You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only shall you serve.
