Default Last of 'Fatima vision' trio dies

http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/europe...eut/index.html

don't know how many of you know this story, but it's a pretty big and important thing from where i come from. i've actually been to this place, and have known the story of the three kids and their visions since i was a kid myself.

LISBON, Portugal (Reuters) -- Lucia de Jesus dos Santos, the last of three children who claimed to see the Virgin Mary at Fatima and who revealed a vision the Catholic Church said foretold the attempt to kill Pope John Paul II, died on Sunday, the Church said.

Dos Santos, 97, who later became a nun, was the eldest of the shepherd children who in 1917 told of seeing apparitions of the Virgin Mary six times. She died at her Carmelite convent at Coimbra in central Portugal.
RIP
