When we decide to travel, there are a series of motivations that drive us to choose a certain destination. Regarding the religious theme, Portugal has some places of choice associated with an essentially Catholic tradition. But it doesn't stop here.
Um dia contamos-lhe mais sobre esta diversidade, mas, hoje, queremos dar-lhe a conhecer alguns dos segredos mais bem escondidos, em território luso, sobre as aparições de Fátima, e que pode visitar connosco, in loco, com a nossa viagem a Fátima e Santiago de Compostela de 14 dias:
1 - Parish Church of Fatima
Also known as the Parish Church of Fátima and Little Shepherds or the Mother Church of Fátima, the Parish Church of Fátima it is located in the municipality of Ourém and has as its patron saint Our Lady of Pleasures. This was the church attended by the Little Shepherds and where they were baptized, with the baptismal font available for viewing.
2 - Municipal Museum of Ourém
In this museum, the history of the village of Ourém is exposed. One of the most discussed episodes is the kidnapping of the three Little Shepherds for interrogation. Although the evidence and accounts of the time did not allow reaching a consensus about what happened to Little Shepherds in this situation, the truth is that Our Lady of Fátima did not appear to the children on August 13th, 1917, as would have been expected, given the absence of the same . They were the essential element to his appearances, so that, that month, he only appeared on the 19th.
3 - Monastery of the Immaculate Heart of Mary
This monastery is also known as Poor Clares Convent and it is located in the city of Lisbon. This is where Saint Jacinta, one of the Little Shepherds, spent her last days, before being admitted to the Dona Estefânia Hospital, until she died in 1920, just nine years old. Some of the girl's belongings have been preserved and can be seen in this monastery.
4 - Dona Estefânia Hospital
Como referido anteriormente, Santa Jacinta Marto, uma das três pastorinhas a ser visitada por Nossa Senhora de Fátima, esteve internada neste hospital antes da sua morte. Por 18 dias lutou pela vida, mas a doença pulmonar que a assomou, acabou por levar a melhor. O hospital, o quarto e a cama de Santa Jacinta, a número 38, viriam a ser alvo de muitas visitas e verdadeiras peregrinações dos mais crentes ao longo de muitos anos.
5 - Church of Our Lady of the Angels
Esta igreja de Lisboa remete à história das aparições de Fátima, porque foi onde o corpo de Santa Jacinta foi velado entre 21 e 24 de fevereiro de 1920. Durante esses dias, centenas de pessoas peregrinaram a esta igreja e, no dia 24, uma multidão seguiu o corpo da pastorinha até à Estação do Rossio.
