Day 286: Happy Feast of the Miracle of the Sun


The Miracle of the Sun occurred at Fatima in Portugal on October 13th, 1917. Mary had been appearing to three shepherd children Lucia, Jacinta and Francisco, every month since May, and had promised there would be a sign on October 13th. The sun grew larger and larger in the sky, appearing to touch the earth. When the event was over, the ground and the people, who had been soaked with rain, were completely dry. Dave made this cake to help us celebrate. He put candles around the edge of the sun, and we recited the Hail Mary before blowing them out.
