The Miracle of the Sun, October 13th, 1917 aka Miracle of Fátima!

The children were told to make sacrifices to save sinners. They were tight cords around their wrists and did not drink water on hot days. Lucia told the villagers that Mary asked them to say the Rosary every day in order to keep world peace.

The sixth and final miracle, the Miracle of the Sun, occurred on the 13th of October 1917. This was essentially in response to the prophecy made by the three children. The children told the people in the village to come out and witness it, even the sceptics. There are reports of over 70,000 people being in attendance. According to various witness accounts, the rainy sky cleared up, and the ground that was wet from the rain became dry. The sun appeared “dancing around” and “zig-zagging” in the sky within broken clouds, giving it the name of the Miracle of the Sun. Some say that the dancing sun even appeared to fly closer to the earth and then jump back into its place quickly. Others also mentioned multicoloured light and radiant colours all over the sky. They said the Miracle of the Sun lasted for at least 10 minutes. The children were then finally believed by the people of Fátima.

How they tell lies. Pope Pius XII also approved the miracle in 1940. Interestingly, the Pope also declared that he witnessed the same miracle in 1950. On October 30, 1950, the Pope was walking through the Vatican gardens, where he witnessed the Miracle of the Sun near the statue of Our Lady of Lourdes. He saw the same miracle again on October 31, November 1, and November 8. https://www.portugal.com/history-and-culture/what-happened-at-the-miracle-of-fatima/ Also, follow the link for the six monthly apparitions. The true count of people was not 70,000, but between 30,000, and 20,000. It was also not a mass hallucination, but, 20,000 or more idiots looking directly at the sun for 10 minutes or more.

Did it Physically Happen?

All around the globe, nobody noticed anything unusual, it was only seen at Fátima. There were also many people there at Fátima who reported seeing nothing.

Is there a reasonable explanation for what was seen?

Indeed, yes there is. You have a large crowd expecting a miracle, a vision. They were highly motivated to stare at the sun, looking for a vision.

If you stare directly at the sun for a sufficient period of time, 5–10 minutes will do it; then you will indeed not only damage your eyesight, but you will see exactly what was reported – radiant colours and the sun dancing in the sky.

This is not simply an opinion, it is what happens to the human eye when exposed to the sun like that.

Here are a few extracts …

A 23-year-old nurse presented to the RVEE Hospital in June 1987 … While on a pilgrimage to Medjugorje, she had stared at the sun for 10 minutes in the late afternoon of a hot summer’s day. While staring at the sun it went a deep green, surrounded by a gold rim, and when she looked away her vision was blurred …

… A 33-year-old woman presented to the RVEE Hospital in July 1987. She complained of a black spot in front of her right eye. In May 1987, she had been on a pilgrimage to Medjugorje. She had stared at the sun at 7.00 pm intermittently for a few minutes. While she was so doing, the sun had danced and changed colour from orange to black to white. When she looked away, she noticed her vision was blurred, and there was a black spot in front of her right eye. Gradually with time, her vision improved, but the black spot has persisted….

The paper then goes on to outline other similar cases, and then within the discussion section, explains what was going on inside the eye and illustrates the damage that had been done with images.

The simple explanation here is that yes, people at Fátima did indeed see the sun dance in the sky, and yes, they did also see radiant colours.

There is nothing supernatural going on, this is what happens if you stare directly at the sun for long enough.

Hopefully, I’ve thrown a bit of light upon a subject that has blinded many, which in the case of those that were there, is quite literal.
