Mass suggestion can be very powerful, and it's not difficult to find examples in which the religious mind sees images that may not really exist. December , for example, was an especially busy season for Mary, starting when a woman named Mari Valenzuela of Alhambra, California, noticed an image of the Virgin Mary in her melted candle. The lump, about an inch high and made of soft white wax, resembled a woman's head and torso. Valenzuela showed the miracle to her priest, who assured her that it was a sign that her life was on the right path. The Virgin Mary next showed up at a backyard barbecue in McAllen, Texas, when a guest noticed that a darkened oval knot in a wooden fence looked like Mary; her presence was credited with helping a woman recover well from a recent surgery.

Then, a few days before Christmas, a woman in Dallas, Texas, photographed a transparent, oblong image through the back window of her Ford Expedition that she believed was of the Virgin Mary. It's not surprising that human-shaped forms might be interpreted as religious figures, especially around the religious holidays. People see these images for the same reason that they see faces in clouds, Rorschach blots and coffee stains. This phenomenon, called pareidolia , is well known in psychology, and it is the cause of many supposedly mysterious and miraculous events including the famous "Jesus in the Tortilla".

Whether the sightings are the result of a miracle or a mundane psychological process, they are welcomed by the faithful.

Our Lady of Fatima explained to the children that war is a punishment for sin and warned that God would further castigate the world for its disobedience to His Will by means of war, hunger and the persecution of the Church, the Holy Father and the Catholic Faithful. The good will be martyred, the Holy Father will suffer much and various nations will be annihilated.

In all Her appearances at Fatima the Blessed Mother repeatedly emphasized the necessity of praying the Rosary daily, of wearing the Brown Scapular of Mount Carmel, and of performing acts of reparation and sacrifice. Thousands of people flocked to Fatima and Aljustrel in the months following the reports of the visions and miracles.

On August 13, the provincial administrator and anticlerical Freemason, Artur Santos no relation , believing that the events were politically disruptive, arrested the children before they could reach the Cova da Iria that day. Prisoners held with them in the provincial jail later testified that the children, while upset, were consoled by the inmates and then led the inmates in saying the Rosary.

About Miracle Treat Day

The administrator interrogated the children and unsuccessfully attempted to get them to divulge the content of the secrets. In the process, he tried to convince the children that he would boil them one by one in a pot of oil unless they confessed the secrets.

The children, however, resisted. That month, instead of the usual apparition in the Cova da Iria on the 13th, the children reported that they saw the lady on August 19 at nearby Valinhos. The Secret actually consists of three parts, the first two of which have been publicly revealed.
