Week 39:

The image is of Nossa Senhora de Fátima, sometimes seen as the Virgin Mary. This religious object tells a bit about my Catholic upbringing. Always by my bedside table to this day, it is very common to have her image in miniature version in our rooms. This is a more detailed version including “so tress pastorinhos”, the three pastor children. The story goes that Mary appeared in front of the three children in Fatima (land located in Portugal) on the 13th of May. When I lived in Portugal I remember going on road trips with the family to this city as it grew into a sanctuary. Later when my family immigrated to Brazil, coincidentally in our neighbourhood, a replica of a chapel of Fatima was being built. I remember the construction days and being in that mud with my parents to pray. It felt like a bridge of my two realities, Portugal and Brazil. She is very important to my family also because of the number 13. History goes that it’s my family’s lucky number as many things are tied to it as well as my brother and I,s birthdays being on the 13th.
