The Shepherds of Fátima

Product Description

Drawing upon recollections, historical sources, and eyewitness accounts, this captivating retelling of Mary’s apparitions at Fátima, Portugal in 1917 extends more deeply into the lives of the three shepherd children who she revealed herself to–Lúcia, Francisco, and Jacinta–both prior to and following the events. It also includes a discussion of the secret of Fátima based on Lúcia’s memories. This well-researched account reads like a novel and includes an 8 page photo insert. Winner of a Christopher Award!
