Chapel of the Apparitions, Catholic chapel in Sanctuary of Fátima, Portugal
The Chapel of the Apparitions features a marble pillar marking the spot where three children encountered the Virgin Mary in 1917.
Construction of the chapel began in April 1919, following reported Marian apparitions, and underwent rebuilding in 1923 after destruction by explosives.
The chapel serves as a central point for Catholic devotion, where millions of pilgrims gather to pray and commemorate the supernatural events of 1917.
Visitors can attend daily masses at the chapel, with special ceremonies occurring on the 13th of each month from May through October.
The original holm oak tree, where the Virgin Mary appeared to the children, stood near the chapel until 1951 and pilgrims took pieces as religious keepsakes.
