Biography
Portuguese child noted for the Miracle of Fatima, during which the sun
appeared to spin and fall from the sky, witnessed by 70,000 people on
10/13/1917.
On a spring day in 1916, three peasant children, Lucia dos Santos and
her two cousins, Jacinta and Francisco Marto, ages nine, eight and six,
were tending sheep when they first began to see the visions.
The Lady said to Lucia on 6/13/1917, during the second apparition,
"In a short time I will take Francisco and Jacinta up to heaven with
me. You, on the other hand, will remain on earth for a great many years to
spread the devotion to my Immaculate Heart." The two Marto children
were both stricken by the Spanish flu and Francisco died on 4/04/1919 at
Fatima, age ten, and Jacinta died on 2/20/1920, 22:30 GMT at Lisbon, age
nine. Due to the contagious nature of the disease, their remains were
covered with quicklime: nonetheless, when the bodies were examined in
1951, Jacinta's body was found to be in perfect condition.
They were both beatified by Pope John Paul II on 5/13/2000.

What Do You Think?
This chart is presented in combination with The
Miracle of Fatima, and the three children who saw the visions: Lucia
dos Santos, Jacinta Marto, and Jacinta Marto.
The three questions for this event are:
- We have the time of the "Miracle of the Sun." Do you see
any special conditions about the Sun in the chart? How about Venus,
Moon, Neptune or Virgo for the Virgin Mary?
- We have the birth times of the three children who saw the Virgin
Mary. Can you find things in common between their charts that would
predispose them to be the ones chosen to behold a miracle and become
saints?
- We know that Lucia wrote down the third secret on the morning of
January 3, 1944. Is there something special about that day that kept
this secret under wraps for 83 years from when first heard and 56
years from when it was written down?
