The white marble plaque in the front bears the inscription: "In thanks to the Blessed Mother of God for the miraculous rescue of our village from the hardships of the front in April 1945."
The Fatima Chapel is a stone memorial to the suffering, grief, and despair of World War II.

This "Fatima Chapel" is dedicated to the Mother of God. It was named after the town of Fatima in Portugal, where Mary appeared several times to some shepherd children in 1917 (during the First World War). Our Lady revealed three secrets to the children.
Pope John Paul II attributed his survival of the assassination attempt on him on May 13—the commemoration of the first Marian apparition at Fatima—to Our Lady there. The bullet that nearly killed him was later incorporated into the crown of the statue of Our Lady at Fatima.

The female first name Fatima comes from Arabic and means “the one who has weaned” or “who abstains”, which is why “Fatima” can also be translated as “the weaned” or “the abstinent”.
