          |  The 
            clouds of smoke from hundreds of thousands of candles fill the square 
            at Fátima, Portugal, obliterating from view the top 
            of the church. People hold vigil on the night of the anniversary of 
            the apparition, in the hope that history will repeat itself. On 13 
            May 1917 three shepherd children had a vision from the Virgin, saying 
            that if her requests were granted there would be peace on earth. On 
            the 13th of each month between May and October they had visions, culminating 
            in the miracle of the 13 October, when seventy thousand people witnesses 
            a 'dancing sun'.  |
