Fatima

Fatima is a place of worship.
It is located in the centre of Portugal and is where the Virgin Mary appeared to 3 little shepherds during the year 1917.

It holds a special place in my heart, for both me and my wife, and we visit it at least once a year.
It recharges us for the coming year. It is a place where we have a chance to be grateful and appreciate all the good things God has given us and where we get the strength to endure the challenges ahead.

If you are a believer, chances are you have already visited Fatima and had the chance to feel it for yourself. If you are not a believer, Fatima may not be much to you, but regardless, it is (at least for me), one of the most relaxing places on earth.

Vila Conde - Flower Rugs

The "Procession of the Flower Rugs" is an event that happens in Vila do Conde, a city in the north of Portugal and takes place every four years.

The tradition consists in covering the old core of Vila do Conde with flower carpets happens every four years.

Residents of the old village defoliate tons of flowers, in an arduous task that ends only in the day of the Body of God.

These are some photos we took using our mobiles... So please, forgive me the low quality...
