Summary:Every year, faithful Catholics hold processions at the shrine of the Blessed Virgin in Fatima, Portugal but on May 13 1968 the pilgrimage marked the 50th anniversary of the appearance of a vision of the Blessed Virgin to three children from the town. Pilgrims believe the shrine has healing powers and many bring the sick with them.
