THE VIRGIN MARY HAD PROMISED A MIRACLE FOR THE DAY OF HER LAST APPEARANCE, OCTOBER 13, 1917 SO THAT ALL WOULD BELIEVE. What transpired became known as \"Miracle of the Sun\". A crowd believed to be approximately 70,000 in number, including newspaper reporters and photographers, gathered at the Cova da Iria. Columnist Avelino de Almeida of O Sculo (Portugal\'s most influential newspaper, which was pro-government in policy and avowedly anti-clerical), reported the following: \"Before the astonished eyes of the crowd, whose aspect was biblical as they stood bare-headed, eagerly searching the sky, the sun trembled, made sudden incredible movements outside all cosmic laws - the sun \'danced\' according to the typical expression of the people.\" Eye specialist Dr. Domingos Pinto Coelho, writing for the newspaper Ordem reported \"The sun, at one moment surrounded with scarlet flame, at another aureoled in yellow and deep purple, seemed to be in an exceeding fast and whirling movement, at times appearing to be loosened from the sky and to be approaching the earth, strongly radiating heat\". The special reporter for the 17 October 1917 edition of the Lisbon daily, O Dia, reported the following, \"...the silver sun, enveloped in the same gauzy purple light was seen to whirl and turn in the circle of broken clouds...The light turned a beautiful blue, as if it had come through the stained-glass windows of a cathedral, and spread itself over the people who knelt with outstretched hands...people wept and prayed with uncovered heads, in the presence of a miracle they had awaited. The seconds seemed like hours, so vivid were they.In addition to the Miracle of the Sun, the seers at Fatima indicated that the lady prophesied a great sign in the night sky which would precede a second great war. On January 25, 1938, bright lights, an aurora borealis appeared all over the northern hemisphere, including in places as far south as north Africa, Bermuda and California. It was the widest occurrence of the aurora since 1709 and people in Paris and elsewhere believed a great fire was burning and fire departments were called. Lucia, the sole surviving seer at the time, indicated that it was the sign foretold and so apprised her superior and the bishop in letters the following day. Just over a month later, Hitler seized Austria and eight months later invaded Czechoslovakia.MEDALS TO THE RIGHT OF THE CENTERPIECE:
AN AWESOME ST. CHRISTOPHER MEDAL -According to the legendary account of his life, Christopher was a Canaanite 5 cubits (7.5 feet ) tall and with a fearsome face. While serving the king of Canaan, he took it into his head to go and serve \"the greatest king there was\". He went to the king who was reputed to be the greatest, but one day he saw the king cross himself at the mention of the devil. On thus learning that the king feared the devil, he departed to look for the devil. He came across a band of marauders, one of whom declared himself to be the devil, so Christopher decided to serve him. But when he saw his new master avoid a wayside cross and found out that the devil feared Christ, he left him and Inquired from people where to find Christ. He met a hermit who instructed him in the Christian faith. Christopher asked him how he could serve Christ. When the hermit suggested fasting and prayer, Christopher replied that he was unable to perform that service. The hermit then suggested that because of his size and strength Christopher could serve Christ by assisting people to cross a dangerous river, where they were perishing in the attempt. The hermit promised that this service would be pleasing to Christ. After Christopher had performed this service for some time, a little child asked him to take him across the river. During the crossing, the river became swollen and the child seemed as heavy as lead, so much that Christopher could scarcely carry him and found himself in great difficulty. When he finally reached the other side, he said to the child: \"You have put me in the greatest danger. I do not think the whole world could have been as heavy on my shoulders as you were.\" The child replied: \"You had on your shoulders not only the whole world but Him who made it. I am Christ your king, whom you are serving by this work.\"
