Our Lady of Fatima Mini Wooden Retablo

Our Lady of Fatima - Our Lady of the Rosary
Feast Day May 13
 
While tending sheep in Portugal in 1917, Lucia age 9 and her 2 younger cousins had a shared vision of a woman surrounded by light. She called herself The Lady of the Rosary. She instructed the children to pray the Rosary for Peace. She told them World War I would soon end but another War would start. She appeared six times before them. 70,000 people came to see her after hearing of her.
 
Prayer by Pope John Paul II at the back of the retablo: "Mother of all people, take under your Motherly protection of the whole human family, which with affectionate love we entrust to you, O Mother. May there dawn in everyone the time of peace and freedom. The time of truth and justice and hope."
 
A Retablo is a devotional painting derived from traditional Catholic Church Art, often on rectangular wooden board that illustrate holy images such as Christ, the Virgin Mary or Saints.
