I could only get so close for the video. When you look inside the pavilion, you will see a small hut inside. To the immediate left of that hut is a column. On top of the column is a statue of Mary inside a glass case. The statue represents the exact location where Mary appeared to the children. The column is located in the location of the Holm Oak tree she stood on.

This is the first crown that was made to go atop the processional statue of the Virgin Mary. It was constructed in 1946. Strangely enough, it was constructed with a gap in the inside/top of exactly 9mm. Providence? You decide. If you look closely, you can see the space is filled with one of the bullets from the May 13th, 1981, attempt on the life of Pope John Paul II. The caliber of the bullet? 9 MM

In the center of this cross is a 2nd, smaller cross. In the center of the second cross is a smaller 3rd cross in a field of yellow. That 3rd cross is made from two pieces of the actual Holy Cross.


Below, on the tree of the large cross is a seal of authenticity.


Inside the old Basilica (the huge building with the massive tower) can be found the tombs of the 3 Fatima visionaries. Below is Francisco's tomb.

The two girls Lucia and Jacinta lay next to each other. Jacinta only lived to 9 years old. Lucia lived more than 10 times that long.
