Fatima prophecy for nearly a century is a heated debate both among theologians and secular researchers.In fact, this is not one prediction, but three.Two of them became known almost immediately after the Fatima miracle happened.Last, and most importantly, the Catholic Church kept secret for half a century.Its contents Pope promulgated only in 2000.Around it immediately sparked a new debate.Some believe honesty is completely Catholic leadership, someone decided that the church hid the present text of the prophecy or it is not fully released.But first recall what exactly happened and who voiced these predictions.
Fatima prophecy was made a little girl, a resident of the Portuguese village of Cova de Iria, located near the town of Fatima in 1917.She received it, she said, from the mouth of the Virgin.Thirteenth May three children - a boy and two girls, herded cattle in the vicinity of the city - near the oak saw a strange and very beautiful young woman dressed in white and with a rosary in his hands.It was highly unusual, and therefore Lucia asked the radiant ladies from where she came.In response, the woman told the child that came down from heaven.With childlike Lucia asked why.In response, the lady asked the children to come under the oak every thirteenth and promised that about who she is and what she needs, she will tell in October.
Thus began the history which has led to the prediction, which is known under the name "Fatima prophecy."On the next day that the children saw the Virgin Mary, it became known throughout the village.June 13 near the oak gathered a huge number of people.Our Lady was the children a few times just for the 13th numbers, but no one else saw her.She spoke only to Lucia.In the course of communication, and this girl had received all three predictions.
first Fatima prophecy says about the imminent end of World War II.The second concerned Russia.Holy Virgin predicted the future of the revolution, the victory in the Second World War and the persecution of the church.Last Prophecy - the third - was made in October.Perhaps, this case would have remained an unknown, if not a miracle occurred, which saw all the spectators present in an amount of about one hundred thousand people.
Once Lucia received a third prophecy of Fatima, in the sky there was something very strange.The sun suddenly turned pale, and its rays became brighter.Then it moved from his seat and threw stones to the ground.All those who are watching, fell to his knees in fear.The Church has recognized the true case and confirmed what the children saw the Virgin exactly.In 1957, Lucia gave the pope in a sealed envelope she had received the text of the third prophecy.However, she insisted that it was not made public before 1960. In 59 g several priests opened the envelope, to prepare for the publication of the prediction.However, reading its contents, church officials decided to keep it secret.
published it was only after 83 years after the Fatima miracle happened.The third prophecy contained a description of the vision, appeared before the eyes of children in October 1917 According to Lucia, they saw a procession of priests and believers, to climb a mountain with a cross on top.On the way to the pope and church leaders had passed a city in which there were a lot of corpses.As soon as the procession went up the mountain, there were soldiers who were shot holy men.
Church to interpret this as a prediction of the assassination attempt on Pope John II, which happened, oddly, May 13, but in 1981, however, many researchers doubt that such an important prophecy could refer only to the only church.For the veil of mystery that hung over him for more than half a century, it was judged that it contains not less than doomsday predictions or anything like that.
However, the whole truth about the true contents of the prophecy known only to the priests.Lucia died in 2005, never revealed to anyone this secret.Her brother and sister left this world as children.
Lee said the church the truth or lied, unknown to anyone.Prophecy published.And to interpret it in their own way, each is free.
