Sculpture of Our Lady of Fátima

The wooden statue measures 1.10 meters tall and stands at the Sanctuary of Fátima, crafted by Portuguese artist José Ferreira Thedim from Cedrela fissilis wood.

Created in 2000, this representation of the Virgin Mary marks the location where three shepherd children reported seeing apparitions of Mary in 1917.

The statue exemplifies Portuguese religious artistry through its detailed carving techniques, traditional white robe design, and incorporation of sky blue color elements.

Visitors can observe the statue year-round at the Chapel of Apparitions, with peak attendance occurring during religious celebrations and pilgrimage periods.

The sculpture features specific details based on descriptions provided by Sister Lúcia, one of the three children who witnessed the original Marian apparitions.
