Fatima is at the heart of Portugal, both its geography and its spirituality. In 1917, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to three children tending their sheep on a rocky hillside in Fatima to tell them the world must pray for the conversion of sinners and for peace. Ever since, it has drawn millions of pilgrims each year from around the world to answer the Blessed Mother’s call for prayer, especially to pray the Rosary. Other popular sites for tourists in the area around the Shrine include: The homes of the Little Shepherds in nearby Aljustrel. Behind the childhood home of Sister Lucia is a site where an angel appeared to the children a year before the apparition of the Blessed Mother. The homes have been preserved and are open to the public. Valinhos, which is the site where the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to the children in August of 1917. In Fatima pilgrims can visit the parish church where the Little Shepherds were baptized and its cemetery where Francisco was first buried.
