In the spring of 1916, whereas the First World War was raging, at the Loca du Cabeco, an angel appeared to three small shepherd children. Lucy de Santos, then aged 10, was accompanied by her two cousins Jacinta (7) and Francisco Marto (10), all three from a very poor peasant family. The shepherd children saw the vision of an angel of peace whose mission was to prepare them for the Coming of the Virgin Mary three times. For each Apparition, the angel invited the children to pray and accompanied them in their reverence. During the summer, the angel appeared a second time to the children who were playing and urged them to pray "Constantly offer prayers and sacrifices to the Most High". He presented himself as the guardian angel of Portugal. |
