Summary
Date: September 12, 1917 Due to the date of this publication, this image is in the public domain. One of those who witnessed and reported the strange solar phenomena was Avelino de Almeida, a reporter who had ridiculed the so-called miracles at Fatima in previous articles. His photographer did not see it, but shot pictures of the mesmerized crowd looking into the sky. There is no independent verification of the solar phenomenon, and no movement or other phenomenon of the sun was registered by scientists at the time.--from Sacred Destinations -- Shrine of Our Lady of Fatima
