As World War I rages and the October Revolution in Russia fights for a new state, three children in a remote area of Portugal report Marian apparitions, and thousands witness the miracle of the sun on October 13, 1917, in Fatima. Fatima holds a special place in the history of Marian devotion. This pilgrimage site is associated with a clearly defined message of faith: the shared responsibility for the salvation of others and the entire world. The richly illustrated and beautifully designed volume explores the various perspectives of the message of Fatima in theology and pastoral care, emphasizing its particular significance for the faith life of the future. Current photographs also highlight Pope Francis's pilgrimage to Fatima in May 2017.
