Lúcia dos Santos


 
 

Maria L?cia Rosa dos Santos – "Sister L?cia of Jesus and of the Immaculate Heart", better known as Sister L?cia of Jesus – (March 22, 1907 – February 13, 2005) was a Roman Catholic Carmelite nun. Born Lucia de Jesus dos Santos, at the age of ten she claimed to have witnessed visions and to have been spoken to by the Virgin Mary, in Cova da Iria, near the village of Aljustrel, about a mile from F?tima, Portugal. Her two cousins Jacinta and Francisco Marto also witnessed the visions but only L?cia was able to converse directly with her. Among the messages L?cia supposedly relayed from the Virgin were the Three Secrets of Fatima. The Catholic Church approved the visions in the 1930s, and today the children's experience is known to millions as F?tima.

In March 1948, she joined the Carmel of St. Teresa at Coimbra, where she lived until her death at the age of almost 98. She had been suffering prolonged colds and flu in an unheated cell. She died of cardio-respiratory failure, due to her advanced age.
