STORYLINE:
To the cheers of tens of thousands, Pope Francis traveled Friday to the Portuguese town of Fatima to honor two illiterate shepherd children whose visions of the Virgin Mary 100 years ago marked one of the most important events of the 20th-century Catholic Church.
Pilgrims three-to-five deep lined his motorcade route and tossed flower petals as he zoomed by.
The huge crowd erupted in cheers and applause as the pontiff's open-topped, white popemobile arrived at Fatima's vast square.
There was no official crowd estimate, but authorities had previously said they were expecting 1 million people
Francis is in Fatima to celebrate the centenary of the apparitions and to canonize the children.
He is hoping the message of peace that they reported 100 years ago, when Europe was in the throes of World War I, will resonate with the Catholic faithful today.
