Website
The catholic faith is still very strong in Portugal. Every year on 12th of October in a small residential area in Porto, Portugal, the residents celebrate a traditional anniversary of the last apparition of Virgin Mary in Fatima. The people are very concentrated and show their truth faith. Next to the houses there is a huge shopping centre and a bridge of the motorway. This small estate seems to be a last enclave encircled by the foreign world of commercialism and materialism.
