Did These Children Really See The Virgin Mary?

Little did they know that this day would mark the beginning of a series of extraordinary events that would forever alter their lives and capture the imagination of countless believers. As they ambled through the pasture, the heavens themselves seemed to open up before them, bathing the children in a luminous radiance that defied explanation.
