Home of Francisco and Jacinta

Today is the feast of the 2 youngest canonized saints in the history of the church. I visited their hometown in September and took pictures.

The most famous picture you can find of the 3 shepherd children is this one. It is in front of the house of Francisco and Jacinta. I can't describe what it was like to have my picture taken in the exact same spot. Truly humbling.

The town was about a 30-minute walk from the Cova D' Iria where Our Lady appeared. The route has been converted into Stations of the Cross and the Coca is now one of the greatest pilgrimage sites in the world.

The experience was one I won't forget.

Francisco and Jacinta, Pray for us!
