October 13, 1917 Fatima, Portugal Over 70,000 witness the suns movements over a period of 10 minutes. Many were unbelievers and hostile to religion. Newspaper reporters present confirmed the miracle, …people`s clothes and muddy ground dried instantaneously, miracle was seen by people many miles away. Here now is an account of the miracle of the sun as written by Dr Jose Almeida Garrett, of Coimbra University “It must have been nearly two o’clock by the legal time and about midday by the sun. The sun, a few moments before, had broken through the thick layers of clouds which hid it and shone clearly and intensely. I ... saw it as a disc with a clean-cut rim, luminous and shining, but which did not hurt the eyes.” He then went on to describe how it did not resemble the moon, and could not have been confused with the sun as seen through fog, and that he was amazed to find he could look at it directly without any pain to his eyes despite the fact that … ”it gave out light and heat and appeared clear cut with a well defined rim ….” “The suns disc did not remain immobile. This was not the sparkling of a heavenly body for it spun round on itself in a mad whirl. Then, suddenly, one heard a clamor, a cry of anguish breaking from all the people. The sun, whirling wildly, seemed to loosen itself from the firmament and advance threateningly upon the earth as if to crush us with its huge and fiery weight. The sensation during those moments was terrible. During the solar phenomenon, there were changes of colour in the atmosphere. ... I saw everything an amethyst colour. Objects around me, the sky and the atmosphere, were of the same colour. ... I turned away and shut my eyes, keeping my hands before them to intercept the light. With my back still turned, I opened my eyes and saw that the landscape was the same purple colour as before. ... All the phenomena which I have described were observed by me in a calm and serene state of mind and without any emotional disturbance.” Read more about Fatima here: deaconjohn1987.blogspot/2009/10/october-13-our-lady-of-fatima-miracle.html
