Hi everyone, my name is Rita, I'm from Portugal and I'm here today with a new article. The new article is about Santuário de Fatima, Fatima's sanctuary. And I'm here today as usual with my co-host James. And we will read the article, me and James together. Actually, James will read the article and I will correct James.

with his pronunciation and also with some words that he may not understand. Should we get started, James? Yeah, sure, I'm ready. Yeah, good. So we'll start with the first paragraph. O Santuário de Fátima, formalmente intitulado pela Igreja Católica como o Santuário de Nossa Senhora. do Rosário de Fátima. É um santuário mariano dedicado à Nossa Senhora de Fátima, localizado no lugar da Cova da Íria, na cidade de Fátima. Conselho de Oren em Portugal. Conselho de Oren. Muito bem. James, percebeste?

Maybe you could describe it a bit. There's Fatima as the place, correct? Yes, Fatima is the city, as we can read. Yes. It's in the district of Oren in Portugal. And where it is really localized, the place itself is called Cova da Iria, where actually the sanctuary is. So, as it says... Santuário de Fatima, it was given the name, like sort of shortened, for...

Or better, as in the text said, formalmente intitulado, it means he's formally given the name of Santuário da Nossa Senhora de Rosário de Fátima. It's a bit X. Quite long. Long, exactly. That's why the people, of course, calls it only Santuario de Fatima. other ones. So basically it's a santuario that is focused or dedicated to the cult of... Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus. There are other ones. On top of my head, we have Lourdes in France. It's also a Santuario Mariano.

yeah that's it it's pretty much this description is once again yes it's dedicated dedicated to the Nossa Senhora Fatima

Localizado is a bit like in English, localized. Yes, where it is, yeah. No lugar da cova de iria. Yeah? Good. Shall I continue? Sure. O santuário de Fátima é... Por excelência um local de peregrinação. Cristã é devoção e devoção católica, preservando a memória dos acontecimentos. que levaram a sua fundação, nomeadamente, as aparir. Aparições de Nossa Senhora aos três pastorinhos. Lúcia dos Santos.

Francisco e Jacinta Mato, em 1917. Muito bem. Ok. Então, o Satuário de Fátima é pura excelência, pura excelência is really in his core, the idea of why... Not why, but the people go there. They walk from... We have actually a... a way to go to Fatima, like walking. So that's why peregrinação cristã, pilgrims, go there, so walk there. from different parts of Europe as well not only not only Portuguese people yes or Christians Portuguese but from other places in

In Europe, it's like the Santiago way. Also, they draw the Fatima way. And the Volsão Católica, you believe in the Catholicism. Yes, dedicated. Dedicated, yes. Devotion. Devotion is a place for Christian and Catholic devotion. The people go there as pilgrims and they believe in the Catholic way of religion or Catholic religion. Preservando a memória. But now comes why the people go there. Preservando a memória. Do you understand what preservar a memória?

Preserve the memory. The memory, very good. Dos acontecimentos que levaram à sua fundação. Of the events, acontecimentos, that origin this place. Nomeadamente, as aparições, now that's important, aparições. Aparição is something that comes, an object or something that comes... unexpectedly it's a manifestation of something yeah and there was these three shepherds lúcia dos santos francisco and jacinta marto which

or to whom Nossa Senhora de Fatima appeared to. So that's why, in 1917, that's why they started the Fatima Sanctuary.

So, the last paragraph. Do ponto de vista religioso, é de há muito... De há? De há muito? De há muito consensualmente. Reconhecida. Reconhecida. Nacional e internacionalmente. Muito bem. A sua magnitude e relevância do ponto de vista religioso. Percebes? Your magnitude, so big and relevant. Yes, so it's a very important place. Exactly. It means for a long time. is a consensus national, internationally, its importance and its magnitude from the religious point of view. So any religious people...

Catholic and also other religions might know as well, but the Catholics and Christians know Fatima because it's very, very important for the thoughts and beliefs of the Christianism. At least a part of those who believe Fatima. Shall I continue? Yes. Santa Sé Apostólica. Este é um santuário nacional. Muito bem. Por vontade expressa. It means it was expressed by will. They want something.

Vontade is will. Santa Sé Apostólica, have you heard about it? It's the high institution of Catholicism. They said... They said that this is a national sanctuary. They recognize as such. Okay. Santuários Marianos do Mundo, pertencentes à Igreja Católica. e de maior destino internacional de turismo religioso, recebendo cerca de 6 milhões de visitantes por ano. Muito bem.

É também um dos mais importantes santuários marianos do mundo. Percebes? É um dos santuários mais importantes do mundo. Muito bem. Pertencentes à Igreja Católica. Pertencentes, percebes? I don't know, but no. Pertencentes mean that are part of something. Okay. Yeah, they are part of, they are together with.

The Catholic Church. Yes. But it's more part of. Okay. Sure. There is something called... religious tourism, and this is one of the most visited and most interested religious places from the tourism point of view. A lot of people come to Portugal and ultimately they want to go there. So they're doing the religious tourism. Or they go to different... Mariano Santuario and like Lourdes and they do like a Santuarium tour or something like that.

Recebendo cerca de 6 milhões de visitantes por ano. That's understandable. Yes, there's 6 million tourists coming every year. Every year. Last sentence?

Tres rosas de ouro, papais means three gold pop. uh roses i don't know what it means five gold stars three three roses okay three gold roses purple purple roses maybe is you know high distinction for sure
