Renew and grow your faith visiting Marian Shrines that touch the heart and heal the body as well as sites of stirring Eucharistic Miracles. It was in Fatima, that the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to three shepherd children, whose home was in the nearby hamlet of Aljustrel. See the tombs of Jacinta, Francisco, and Lucia at the Fatima Basilica. One of these children, Lucia, moved to a Dorothean convent in Pontevedra, becoming Sister Lucia, Here, 8 years after the Fatima events, Lucia  experienced another apparition of the Virgin Mary asking her to institute the Communion of Reparation. Another inspiring event occurred in Santiago de Compostela where the Virgin Mary appeared upon a Pillar holding a wooded statue of herself to St. James in 40AD. She requested James that he build a church in her honor. At St. James Cathedral we eill pray at the crypt where his relics are enshrined. St. James converted Spain to Christianity and he is Spain Patron Saint.
