This is the face of a child, Lucia, who shortly before this photograph had beheld the face of the Blessed Mother. This photograph was taken in Fatima in 1917 after the apparitions of Mary. We hope that our exclusive restoration of this photo can help you feel closer to her by being more able to see her as a living girl, not just a figure from history. In turn, we hope this helps you be closer to Jesus and Mary.

One part of Lucia's story that is not widely known is that she was already an extremely devout child before the apparitions. At age 6, she was broken-hearted and in tears because she could not receive Jesus in Communion; 10 was the customary age. In light of her devotion, she was granted an exception. She said of her first communion that she felt "bathed in such a supernatural atmosphere that the presence of our dear Lord became as clearly perceptible to me as if I had seen and heard Him with my bodily senses." As a child, she wrote songs and, in addition, she was known as an imaginative storyteller, which made it harder for people to believe her regarding the appearance of Mary.

Sister Lucia lived for almost another 90 years as a nun in Portugal. See our print of Sister Lucia in her habit here on Etsy at https://www.etsy.com/listing/747836218/fatima-sister-lucia-85x11-vintage?ref=listing_published_alert

** IMPORTANT ** THE IMAGE IS SMALLER THAN THE PAPER! There is a white border of about 0.5" inch for 5x7", 1.3" for 8.5x11", or 1.6" for 11x14" pictures. All Approx! Fine art printers do this because the images are almost never the same rectangular ratio of the standard paper sizes. It also gives the prints a finished look, and lets them look good in a frame without a matt.

- Acid-free paper
- Archival pigments, rated to last for generations.
- Cardboard backer
- Above story of the art
- Enclosed in a tight-fitting, crystal clear bag.

Thanks for your interest!

Thanks!
