In the spring of 1916,                                                                                       
three young children should have been playing,                                            
they were in a field working herding sheep.                                                   
 

Appeared two angels  "Angel of Peace" and "Guardian Angel of Portugal,"                                          
the angels taught them prayers,                                                                        about sacrifices,                                                                                                                        
spend time loving the Lord.                                  

       
In May 1917 they saw the Virgin Mary,                                                                                      they reported an end to the Great War,                                                                                October 13 the Virgin Mary revealed her identity,                                                           followed by a miracle so all may believe.                      
 

The Virgin Mary wore a white mantle edged in gold,                                                                 
she held a rosary in her hand,                                                                                               her words were-devote yourselves to the Holy Trinity,                                                           pray the Rosary every day,                                                                                                    to bring peace to the world and an end to the war.
