Visitation of Our Lady of Fatima

 Our Lady of Fatima

In the community I live in, families have a tradition of “adopting” for a weeks time a miraculous statue of Our Lady of Fatima. Our Lady is transferred to the next adopting family  by procession around the community, usually on Saturday nights. Once the home of the adopting family is reached, the statue of Our Lady is then placed in an altar prepared  just for her by family members. Her altar is decorated with flowers and candles and is covered with lace , silk or satin material. A welcome prayer is then said by the head of the family and snacks are served afterwards. During the whole week, every night, the Rosary and the Litany of the Blessed Mother are recited by family members, each member takes turn nightly in leading the prayer. When seven days comes to an end, the members of the family recites the parting prayer and sends the miraculous statue to the next adoptive home together with the community.
