The Miracle of the Sun, also known as the "Miracle of Fatima," refers to a phenomenon that reportedly occurred on October 13, 1917, near Fatima, Portugal. It was witnessed by tens of thousands of people who had gathered to see what had been heralded as a miraculous event following earlier apparitions of the Virgin Mary to three shepherd children—Lúcia dos Santos and her cousins, Francisco and Jacinta Marto—in 1917.
