You arrive before sunrise at the Sanctuary of Fátima and the plaza breathes slow — candles wink, and the basilicas hold the hush of pilgrimage. The Chapel of the Apparitions anchors the site where, in 1917, three shepherd children reported visions that turned a rural crossroads into one of Catholicism’s busiest destinations.
