Majoring in History?
Heres an interesting History fact. The Blessed Virgin Mary appeared in 1917 in Fatima Portugal to three shepard children and mentioned that the current war was a consequence of sin. She told people "stop offending God for he is already greatly offended". She said the war would end but if people continued to offend God a second and worse war would happen and that when they saw a night illuminated by an unknown light that was the warning that God would punnish the world with a second and greater war.
She also warned about the rise of communism in Russia and the spreading of Russia's errors throughout the world. She promised a public miracle would take place at the Cova da Iria, Fatima, Portugal, October 13, l917.
This promise got media attention and 70,000 people showed up to witness the "Miracle of the sun" aka Miracle of Fatima (You can google it. There have been many books and Documenteries written about it.)
Two of the Children were told they would die shortly which they did and she told them to offer up all of their suffering and death to atone for sins of the world and in supplication for the conversion of sinners, "because many souls go to Hell because they have no one to pray and sacrifice for them."
Many of the people that showed up at the Cova Da Iria to see the miracle were communists and freemasons (antireligious) people who showed up to mock the event. They testified that they witnessed the miracle and wrote about it in secular newspapers.
This Miracle of Fatima was promised, witnessed by thousands, and the prophecies of the second world war and the rise of communism all came true which makes the miracle of Fatima the greatest supernatural event of the 20th century.
I thought you might want to know that Jesus'sGirl. Since you are a History major I figured you would find that Historical fact to be most intriguing.
Perhaps you already heard about it?
