On May 13, 1917, Our Lady appeared to three Portuguese children-Jacinta, Francisco, and Lucia. Asking them to return numerous times to the same spot on the 13th of each month, and telling them to say the Rosary with devotion. Reading this story can encourage us to follow in the footsteps of these three children who prayed the rosary with great devotion and honored Mary, the Lady of the Rosary.
