  the children of Fatima, Portugal.  The first apparition was on May 13, 1917.

• Early in these apparitions, Our lady said that Francisco and Jacinta would soon be taken into Heaven.

The sixth, last apparition October 13, 1917 called... Miracle of the Sun On October 13, 1917, it rained all day.  The ground was soaked, drenched and flooded bad.  Many came, the people and all the reporters. The Blessed Mother came and appeared to the three shepherd children. The sun first came out slow... Then the sun started to move, left and right. The sun was dancing. The sun started to move down towards all the people on land. All the people were sacred and started yelling. Then the sun receded back in the sky. St. Joseph now appeared in this apparition. Lucia's description of the last appearance after the sun during the October 13, 1917 last Apparition of Our Lady of the Rosary from her memoirs: After Our Lady had disappeared into the immense distance of the firmament, we beheld St. Joseph with the Child Jesus and Our Lady robed in white with a blue mantle, beside the sun.  St. Joseph and the Child Jesus appeared to bless the world, for they traced the sign of the cross with their hands.  When, a little later, this apparition disappeared, I saw Our Lord and Our  Lady; it seemed to me that it was Our Lady of Dolours.  Our Lord appeared to bless the world in the same manner as St. Joseph had done.  This apparition also vanished, and I saw Our Lady once more, this time resembling Our Lady of Carmel. St. Joseph and the Divine Child Jesus as they appeared at Fatima. Our Lady of Carmel When this entire October 13, 1917 apparition was over the land that was soaked, drenched and flooded was completely dry. This is all true, very true and again documented by the people and reporters.  This October 13, 1917 apparition was in the New York Times Paper.
