Our Lady of Fatima (pron. IPA [‘fa.ti.mɐ])
is the title given to the Virgin Mary by Catholics and others who
believe that she appeared monthly, for several months, to three
shepherd children at Fátima, Portugal, in 1917. The title of Our
Lady of the Rosary is also used in reference to the same
apparition; the children related that the apparition specifically
identified herself as “the Lady of the Rosary”. It is also common
to see a combination of these titles, i.e., Our Lady of the Rosary
of Fatima (Portuguese: Nossa Senhora do Rosário de Fátima)
