Three Young Witnesses - The Miracle of Our Lady of Fatima – Painting by Dino Carbetta
"Three Young Witnesses - The Miracle of Our Lady of Fatima – Painting by Dino Carbetta"…
Francisco and Jacinta, both under the age of 12, are the youngest non-martyred saints to have been canonized in the history of the Church. They tended the families' sheep with their cousin Lucia Santo in the fields of Fatima, Portugal, where they witnessed the apparition of Mary, also known as Our Lady of Fatima. The first appearance happened in 1917, during which Our Lady encouraged the children to recite the Rosary and make sacrifices for the conversion of sinners. The siblings prayed and shared their food with beggars, sacrificing their hunger and thirst for their cause. In 1918, The children contracted the Spanish flu, and Our Lady visited them again, promising to take them to heaven soon. Francisco passed away in 1919, still longing for his first Communion. Jacinta's health deteriorated, and she underwent surgery and was hospitalized, but she eventually passed away in 1920. Francisco and Jacinta were later canonized in 2017, by Pope Francis, highlighting the profound lesson that even the youngest can achieve sainthood. From May 13 to October 13, 1917, the children received several appearances of Our Lady at Cova da Iria, amidst Europe's wartime strife and Portugal's internal upheaval. Mary's message emphasized the importance of prayer, penance, and devotion, including a plea for the conversion of Russia, which resonated deeply with a world yearning for peace amidst chaos. On October 13, 1917, up to 90,000 people gathered at the Fatima site to witness the culminating event of Mary's message. In this painting, the serene faces of Francisco, Jacinta, and Lucia stand as a testament to their extraordinary faith. The young visionaries and their cousin Lucia, who became a nun, are buried in the Fatima Basilica. Pope Francis canonized them on the 100th anniversary of the first apparition. Their message focused on prayer, devotion to Mary's Immaculate Heart, and the Rosary.
