“Fatima the 13th Day” is my all-time-favorite movie for Lent on miracle — which is true and not just a figment of imagination.

The story starts at the Convent of Pontavedra, Spain in 1937 with a narration from Lucia, the eldest of the three children with whom the Blessed Virgin appeared in Fatima in 1917 — a time of war and revolution, a time when the Bolsheviks in Russia were preparing to cease power, declaring the Church as enemy of the people, spreading like poison in the hearts of men. It was the time in Portugal when monarchy had been overthrown by a republican government with an intention to eliminate all religions.
