Fatima Central Portugal

Way back in 1917 it is reported that the Virgin Mary made an appearance here to some three young children. 

My wife and I were not aware of this, we are not religious people by any stretch of the imagination. We do though appreciate stunning architecture. Below are some shots of the Church in Fatima and I am sure you agree is somewhat breathtaking.

There was a great Oak tree where the Virgin Mary had appeared. That tree was stripped by earlier pilgrims and this one has replaced the original.
