Children say the Virgin of Fatima appeared to them in a city in Brazil | the Chronicle

Neighbors of the community of Cristina, in Brazil, were moved by the apparition of Our Lady of Fatima on the roof of a chapel. The miracle was reported by children playing near the place at night.

Locals recorded and took photos which have gone viral on social media. Most believed the apparition was real. One of the girls who testified said she heard a message from the saint asking her to continue praying “all the time. Her voice was low and she spoke like this: pray, pray. She spoke very calmly.”

One of the mothers of the miners claimed to have seen the Virgin at her home. Her eldest daughter was sitting on the sofa, while the younger one cried too much. When he approaches the smaller one, he puts his hand on it and notices that it is cold. As they both return to their living room, the older one says, “Mum is by your side” but at first she couldn’t believe it, the woman told EPTV.

The images made Antonio Carlos Oliveira, the village shepherd start investigating the apparition. He first contacted the bishop, who asked him to wait. When it comes to this type of event must be careful, it must first be investigated and then proceed with the analysis.

Some local people believe it is the reflection of light from the ceiling around the speaker that is there and is part of the speaker system, so it was ordered to remove it so as not to interfere with the investigation.

“Why did this image appear?” At this time we must “learn the lessons of this message. We must pray at home, especially during this pandemic,” said the priest.
