Roman Catholics will observe on Monday, Feb. 20, the memorial of two of the three shepherd children of Fatima—Saints Jacinta and Francisco Marto, to whom the Blessed Mother appeared at the Cova de Ira in Fatima, Portugal in 1917.
The Holy Father Pope Francis canonized Blessed Francisco and Jacinta in 2017 in their native Fatima, Portugal, to coincide with the centennial of the Fatima apparitions.Francisco died on April 4, 1919, at the age of ten while Jacinta died at the age of nine on Feb. 20, 1920. They were beatified by Saint Pope John Paul II on May 13, 2000.
Francisco and his sister Jacinta, the youngest of 10 siblings, together with their cousin Lúcia dos Santos were from Aljustrel near Fátima, Portugal. Considered the most important series of Marian apparitions in the Roman Catholic Church, the Blessed Mother requested the children to pray the Holy Rosary, perform works of mortification for the conversion of sinners, and requested devotion to herself under the title Our Lady of Fatima.
