3 Dimensional Ornament.
On this beautiful three-dimensional ornament is Our Lady,
dressed in white and blue, addressing the three young children
who respectfully stand before her. Our Lady and the Portuguese
children are pushed forward slightly making them stand apart
from the mountains and villagers in the background who are
watching the scene unfolding before them. The gold frame
encircling this scene is accented with little red flowers.
Layered on top of this gold frame on the top center is another
layer that gently curves out like a canopy with the words "Our
Lady of Fatima" in red and a gold and green filigree design
around the words. On the bottom is another layer that again
gently curves out with a rosary of gold beads and a white cross
which is resting in the bottom center.
OUR LADY OF FATIMA
Between May 13 and October 13, 1917, the Blessed Virgin Mary,
appeared six times to three children, Jacinta Marcos, Francisco
Marcos, and Lucia Dos Santos, in a field in the town of Fatima,
Portugal. Each time she was glowing beautifully dressed in
radiant white. These "Three Seers" were told by the Blessed
Virgin Mary that she had been sent by God to deliver a message
for every man, woman & child. If her requests for prayer,
reparation and consecration were heard and obeyed, she promised
that Heaven would grant peace to all the world. This promise
was made during a time of much bloodshed throughout the world
while World War I waged on.
The Blessed Virgin message has come to be known as the "Secret"
and consists of three parts. The first two have been made known
to the public but the third has not and is in the possession of
the Holy See.
The Anniversary of Our Lady of Fatima is celebrated each year on
the 13th of October.
