"The Sun Danced at Fatima' explores the renowned apparitions of the Blessed Virgin to three young shepherds in Fatima, Portugal, which have sparked global fascination and devotion, establishing Fatima as a major pilgrimage destination. In this book, Father Pelletier, a prominent Mariologist, recounts the events of these apparitions and the dramatic "spinning sun" phenomenon witnessed by thousands with clarity and emotional impact. This updated edition includes new material on Rome's response, the deaths of two visionaries, Lucia's life in the convent, the Vatican’s recognition of the Fatima visions, prophecies about Russia’s conversion and global peace, and Pope John Paul II's historic visit to Fatima on May 13, 1982, to thank the Lady for protecting him during the previous year's assassination attempt. It also features fifteen photographs of key figures and events related to this miraculous episode. Father Pelletier emphasizes that "true apparitions" are profound manifestations of divine grace aimed at drawing people closer to God. The message of Fatima, he asserts, calls for prayer and devotion as a means to achieve personal salvation and reflects a timeless Gospel truth.
