Shepherd children who witnessed apparitions of the Angel of Peace as well as the Blessed Virgin Mary, which is why “Our Lady of Fátima” is the name now also given to the Blessed Virgin.
Practiced self-sacrifice and fasting and also tried to save sinners after seeing a vision of Hell.
Pope Francis canonized them on May 13, 2017, 100 years after the first Apparition of Our Lady of Fátima appeared to them.
They are the Catholic church’s youngest non-martyred Saints.
