Revered since the 1917 Portuguese apparitions, Our Lady of Fatima symbolizes hope, peace, and divine mercy. Her May 13th feast day honors the miraculous visions witnessed by three shepherd children, while her role as Portugal's patroness and guardian against spiritual darkness resonates deeply within Catholic tradition. This hand-carved sculpture, meticulously created by ULPE artisans in Ortisei, Italy—the renowned center of Alpine wood carving—captures her contemplative expression and distinctive crown with remarkable precision. Crafted from premium wood by masters steeped in generations of sculptural tradition, each piece becomes both a devotional focal point and a treasured family heirloom. The marriage of authentic Old World artisanship, spiritual significance, and artistic mastery creates an enduring work worthy of display in prayer spaces or distinguished collections alike.
Feast Day: May 13
More about Fatima:
Our Lady of Fátima, is a Catholic title of the Blessed Virgin Mary based on the famed Marian apparitions reported in 1917 by three shepherd children at the Cova da Iria, in Fátima, Portugal. The three children were Lúcia dos Santos and her cousins Francisco and Jacinta Marto.
The message of Our Lady of Fatima is a simple one – that we must see ourselves as partners of God as we create the future. We must stop offending God, and remember to pray – especially through the Rosary and through petition to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The feast day commemorating the apparition and message of Our Lady of Fatima is May 13th.
The Our Lady of Fatima statue is fully hand carved and hand painted with oil colors.
