Today, October 13th, marks the final apparition of Our Lady of Fatima to Lucia, Francisco and Jacinta. A day remembered around the world for the Miracle of the Sun ☀️🕊️

I couldn’t think of a better day to look back on this moment from May 1st, 2026, when we opened the Marian month. Had the honour of crowning Our Lady of Fatima at Mae de Deus Chapel in Gaunsa-vaddo, Siolim. Carrying forward this tradition was a quiet reminder that God’s timing is always right 🤍

The Crowning Ceremony is a very special part of our history in Gaunsa-vaddo, dating back to 1943. While it brings our whole community together, it is, at its heart, a beautiful blessing for the young women of our village

@_vanka_1403, Samaira and Alaina, thank you for being my pretty little flower girls!!!!! 🤍🤍🤍

Mama, even though you were still recovering from your leg injury, you really pushed yourself to make sure everything was perfect for me, and for that I love you♥️
And @tyron_fernandes_ thank you for making your presence felt on this special day😂♥️

Traditionally, a maiden is chosen to dress in bridal attire and places a crown of white roses on the statue of Our Lady of Fatima. This is our way of invoking Her special protection and guidance over the ‘maidens’ and future ‘brides-to-be’ of the vaddo as we grow and eventually start our own families.

By honoring Mother Mary in this way at the start of May, we believe She watches over our paths and keeps our families under Her care. It’s a legacy of faith that has been passed down for generations

Thank you @jesthor7 for the prayers and for narrating the story of the tradition for the ceremony 🤍

Thank you Fr. Joaquim for your blessings 🤍
