Celestial Secrets: The Hidden History of the Fatima Incident

by Joaquim Fernandes, Fina D'Armada, Jim Marrs (Foreword)

In 1917, three Portuguese children encountered a radiant woman who told them three secrets about the fate of the Earth. The apparitions of Fátima became a legend. In 1978, historians Joaquim Fernandes and Fina d' Armada were given access to the original records of the Fátima incident that had been kept at the Sanctuary of Fátima since 1917. The celestial secrets they found within held what religion could not admit and what science could not explain. Here, for the first time, they tell the history of the 1941 "cover story" by the Church that has both shaped our modern view of the Fátima incident and obscured its true significance as the first major close encounter case of the 20th century. "Celestial Secrets" is Volume II of The Fátima Trilogy.
