Close to 70 eager people packed into the Kamiano Center this past Sat.night to watch the latest film on Fatima: “The 13th Day.” The film was being shown by the youth of the Cathedral as a fundraising event, hopefully the first of many, to raise money for their many activities. Young and old alike purchased their popcorn and soda from the youth, and then quickly seated themselves to watch this latest film on the Miracle of Fatima.
The film is based on the memoirs of the oldest seer, Lucia Santos, as well many thousands of independent eyewitness accounts. “The 13th Day” by Ian and Dominic Higgins, dramatizes the true story of the three young shepherds who experienced six apparitions with a “Lady from heaven” between May and October, 1917 and culminates in the foretold “miracle of the sun” witnessed by 70,000 people.
The children suffered much over the course of the months of “visits” from the Lady, who later revealed herself to be the Blessed Virgin, but they remained true to her, to their story, and to their promise to suffer and pray for the conversion of sinners. All three Seers have since died, the most recent being Lucia in 2005, and two of them have been beatified: Francisco and Jacinta Marto.
