It’s Monday morning and I thought I’d upload the rest of the pictures from Lisbon before we head out to visit Porto. Enjoy!
Thursday March 2 – Obidos; Nazare; Batalha; Fatima
Video Peter took of beach at Nazare.
This is a chapel built to commemorate the Miracle of Our Lady of Nazare when, in 1182, the Blessed Virgin saved the life of a Portuguese knight who was about to ride his horse off the cliff in dense fog. To honor Her, he built this chapel.
Construction of “new” church began in 16th century.
Final stop of day was Fatima
The children are buried in the Shrine. Jacinta and Francisco died in the flu epidemic in 1919. Lucia became a nun and lived until 2005.
Friday March 3 – Peter’s Solo Day of Sightseeing
Okay, so now you’re caught up on pictures of our first 5 days in Portugal. After breakfast we’re going to head out to explore Porto; we’ll post that tonight. Talk soon.
