Our Marian Pilgrimage is our two-week journey to the three beautiful countries of Europe last October 2022. Part One begins with visits to the historical and religious sites of Lisbon, Santarem, Sintra and Fatima. Come and join the pilgrims from California as we try to experience the simple lives of St Lucia, and the siblings St Jacinta and St Francisco, the peasant children who saw the Virgin Mary in 1917. We were at Fatima to celebrate the anniversary of Miracle of the Sun, the 6th and the last apparition of the Virgin Mary. The group had the great privilege to view, one at a time, the bleeding Host up close, after climbing a little ladder behind the altar in Santarem. Portugal has some of the world-famous explorers and sailors who started the Age of Exploration. To know Portugal wouldn't be complete without tasting its pastel de nata, the Port Wine and the Portuguese sardines. Our heartfelt gratitude to Evelyn for allowing us to join this "best-thing-we-ever-did" journey and to our team leader Josie for herding our group, like the scene we witnessed at the Pyrenees Mountains between Spain & France.
