This a miraculous event which, it is claimed, was seen by an estimated 70,000 people on October 13, 1917 in the Cova da Iria fields near Ftima, Portugal. Estimates of the crowd size range from "thirty to forty thousand" by Avelino de Almeida, writing for the Portuguese newspaper O Sculo, to one hundred thousand, estimated by Dr. Joseph Garrett, Professor of Natural Sciences at Coimbra University, both of whom were present that day.
