« Serra da Estrela » or « the Star Mountain »
• It is 2000m at its highest. There is a lot of snow in winter.
• It looks like Lozère with its granitous soil. Some rocks evoke people’s heads, like the ones here below.
« The old woman’s head »

To ridicule the Spanish kings who ruled over Portugal for 60 years,
they are tiny ones compared with the Portuguese kings

In 1917 Our Lady of Fatima made several apparitions to these three shepherds: Jacinta, Francisco and Lucia.
She had 3 secrets to reveal to them.
They had to pray every day for Peace in the world.
On 13th May 1981 Pope John Paul 2 was bullet wounded. Later he said that he survived thanks to Our Lady of Fatima’s intervention.
