Capela Das Aparicoes, Fatima, Portugal Capela das Aparições - Fátima
Monuments
The Chapel, in the heart of the current Fátima Sanctuary, was built by local people in 1919 in response to the request made by Our Lady during one of the apparitions.
The first mass to be held there was in 1921.
Although subject to certain changes, due to preservation and maintenance requirements over recent years, the modestly sized chapel retains its rough design similar to a simple hermitage.
The image of Our Lady marks the spot of the holm-oak tree, the site of the apparitions. The actual tree itself disappeared piecemeal as more fervent believers made off with it twig by twig. It was here that the shepherds came to say the rosary accompanied by other believers. 30 minutes

Our tour guide had good command of English and was personable, and was also attentive to my son's food allergies and my mom's mobility challenges. We also never felt rushed and had plenty of time to see multiple sites connected with the apparitions, in addition to eating and shopping. Thanks for a great time!

It was amazing to visit such a special Marian site and to be able to participate in the Mass and rosary. Our guide, Phillipe, was great. Wonderful English and very informative.

It was a cold, foggy, rainy day in Lisbon, and our driver Felipe was stuck in traffic; however, he called multiple times to update us as we were waiting at the NCL pier. He was extremely apologetic, but it was understandable. The rest of the tour was amazing! He fit all of our cruise luggage in his car and as we drove Felipe discussed our Catholic Faith and the happenings at Fatima as well as the importance of the events that happened there.
When we arrived he let us light candles, then shower us the Rosary Chapel where a Mass was being said in English. Since we were late, we decided to attend the Portuguese Mass in the Marian Cathedral where we also got to see the tombs of the visionaries. Amazing!
Felipe was an inspiration and allowed us all of the time we wanted to pray, cry, and even go to confession if we wanted! He also took us to an out of the way place to purchase gifts/souvenirs which were less expensive than at the shrines. And to make it up to us for being late, he took us to another cathedral that was the inspiration for Notre Dame. Incredible to go inside and envision the kings and Knights Templar who had been there.
Next we visited the original homes of the 3 children visionaries and the original apparition sites!! Although it was cold and rainy, you could sense the presence of holiness in this poor village. A clear reminder of humility and the lives of the Holy Family!
After the tour, Felipe graciously took us to our Hotel and took our luggage in for us! I cannot say enough good things about this experience! Take it! And ask for Felipe!! Well worth it!
