Strange Solar Phenomenon At Fatima Portugal On May 13, 2011

May 13, 2011, was the ninety-fourth anniversary of the apparitions at Fatima, Portugal.  Tens of thousands of pilgrims visited Fatima on that day to commemorate this occasion.  Quite unexpectedly though, they were inadvertently exposed to a strange visual effect involving the sun.  Here is how it was described by the Portuguese press.

"The emergence then of a halo around the sun with the colors of the rainbow caught the attention of the pilgrims, many of whom were touched by the event, and even called it a 'miracle', according to the Lusitanian media".

Technically this phenomenon is known as a "sun dog", and is not that unusual at all.  What makes this particular instance very interesting is the timing of it, that is, on an anniversary of the Fatima apparitions.  If you remember on October 13, 1917, over sixty thousand people witnessed "The Miracle Of The Sun" at Fatima, so this feels like an instance of collective  déjà vu

I wish to thank my dear friend Kid Actors for bringing this story, and the accompanying video to my attention.  Safe journeys to all the fans of Endyr, wherever you may be.
