Three children, Lucia dos Santos and her cousins Francisco and Jacinta Marto; report seeing the Virgin Mary near the village of Fátima, Portugal. In Roman Catholicism, "Our Lady of Fátima" is the title given to the Virgin Mary referring to her six appearances before the three peasant children. Her appearances were always on the 13th of the month, Mary reportedly entrusted the children with messages, including the "Three Secrets of Fatima".
