 Inside the Basilica by TinKan
The painting above the high altar depicts the Message of Our Lady to the little shepherds, prepared by the Angel of Portugal, through their encounter with Christ in the Eucharist. The Bishop of the diocese is shown kneeling on the left side, and the figures of Pope Pius XII (who consecrated the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary in 1942, and whose Legate crowned the Statue of Our Lady in 1946), of Pope John XXIII and Pope Paul VI.
Scenes of the apparitions are represented in stained glass, as well as invocations from the Litany of Our Lady.
In the four corners of the Basilica interior are placed the statues of the great apostles of the Rosary and of devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary: St. Anthony Claret, St. Dominic of Gusman, St. John Eudes and St. Stephen, King of Hungary.
The tombs of Francisco and Jacinta are in the Basilica, and, in the chancel, are the mortal remains of D. José Alves Correia da Silva, first Bishop of Leiria after its restoration in 1920.
The monumental organ, mounted in 1952, has about 12 thousand pipes. Leave a Comment

 the chapel of the apparitions by call_me_rhia
it's not its conspicuous monument: this chapel is where the Virgin Mary is supposed to have made her first apparition. The exact spot is marked by a the marble pillar on which the statue of Mary is placed. The construction is very simple - nearly bare - and from the distance it can easily be mistaken for a bus stop or a rest area. It's a place of prayer, not of photgraphs.

 the monument to the
sacred heart of jesus by call_me_rhiaLeave a Comment Address: fatimaDirections: inside the sanctuary

Thousands of people visit this wonderful center of Christian faith, and we were so lucky to be able to go to it and even have mass and communion at the chapel right in the center of the grounds of Fatima. The mass was in Portugues though and the ceremony was very quick, maybe just about 20 minutes or so.
The Basilica is where the tombstones of Lucia, Jacinta and Francisco are along with the Chapel of the Apparitions.
We were able to go to Fatima using the afternoon City Ram half-day tour which started at 230 PM. The tour only cost 59 Euro per person and it is a good 2 hour drive I think from Lisboa if I remember right (I fell asleep in the bus, lol) Leave a Comment
