PROPHECY: The 3 Secrets of Fátima

Between May and October of 1917, a series of prophecies  were allegedly given to three young Portuguese children— Lúcia dos Santos and her cousins Jacinta and Francisco de Jesus Marto. They claimed that the prophecies were bestowed upon them by the Blessed Virgin Mary herself, there in the family’s own sheep pasture. These prophecies became known as the Three Secrets of Fátima.
