Fatima- The country of Portugal has a rich Marian devotion. Fatima comes from the name of a Muslim princess who converted to Catholicism. Fatima is the name of Mohammed’s most beloved daughter. Archbishop Sheen sees in Our lady’s visit to Fatima not only the conversion of Russia but reconciliation between Muslims and Christians. Both aspects are essential for world peace, the theme of Fatima. At the time of the apparitions, Fatima was a small farming village with pastures for sheep.[1]

VII. Three Visionaries:
Lucia dos Santos- youngest of seven children. Cousin to Francisco & Jacinta. Her father had a spent his evenings after dinner in the tavern. He also was not religious and indifferent to the Faith.[3] She received First Communion a year earlier, 6 yrs, because she knew her faith well. She was 10 yrs at the time of the visitations. She is the only seer to live a long, if not sorrowful life, to 97 yrs. Feb 13, 2005+
Francisco Marto- 9 yrs. Yet barely two years after the first Fatima apparitions, Francisco dies on influenza in Spring 1919 Lucia thought his greatest defect was an attitude of indifference to injustice to himself. If another child took something that belonged to him, he shrugged it off. After the apparitions, Francisco attained an exceptional love of suffering to make reparations for the sins of others.
Jacinta Marto- 7 yrs old. Succumbs to influenza in February 1920. Though the youngest of the visionaries, perhaps she grasped the meaning of the apparitions especially zeal for souls most deeply.
Canonized May 13, 2017 gives credence to apparition
Some Marian scholars want to put Fatima in a third category of obligation, others could be considered supportive of dogmatic proclamations
