Fatima: Miracle of the Sun

[Masato]

Hey all

Was recently reminded of a good story; Miracle of the Sun.

1917... apparently there was a Catholic prediction that on a certain day, there would be a miracle or some sort.

Then, on that day, according to the tale, over 70,000 people saw something unexplainable in the sky. Witnesses and newspapers described a silvery disc in front of the sun, like an eclipse. They could all stare at it without pain, not like looking at the sun. They saw colors and rainbows, and then it apparently turned red and started moving towards earth, people freaked out and repented, then it subsided and went back.

What sets this apart from other 'testimony' of miracles (of which I rarely find of interest), this one was a) predicted and b) witnessed by THOUSANDS of people. Even the local anti-catholic (dude in the video says it was a Freemasonic publication) stubbornly insisted he 'saw what he saw'.

Here is a Catholic Bishop (I think) giving a lecture on the issue. Of course be prepared for his naturally catholic-bias on the event, but even if you are not catholic or have other explanations for the event he does a nice job of describing the majesty of this historic event
