My great-uncle built this chapel on his property after returning home safely from Russian captivity. He made a pilgrimage to Fatima, bought the Madonna there, and built the chapel. A very special place for me!
My magical place – here I feel peace, love, and inner peace!
Thank you, Uncle Joseph, for this wonderful place – here you live forever! Rest in peace 🕊️

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 (i.e. during the First World War). Our Lady revealed three mysteries to the children.
Pope John Paul II has attributed his survival of the assassination attempt on him that took place on May 13 - the commemoration of the first apparition of Mary in Fatima - to Our Lady there. The bullet that nearly killed him was later incorporated into the crown of the statue of Mary at Fatima.
