Portugal

We went to Portugal for a weekend. We went to Coimbra, where the oldest university is in Portugal. Then we went to a couple of beach towns and spent the night. The next day we went to Fátima, where Mary appeared to three shepards. There is now a very large church dedicated to the three children, and a chapel on the exact spot Mary showed herself. Pilgrims from all over the world come to pray and worship Mary and the shepards who have been named saints. The day I was there, thousands of people came to here a bishop give mass.
