The story behind it is very beautiful and has been one of my favorites since the first time I heard it.

These holy sites in Europe are very overdone in my opinion. I visited Fatima a few years ago. The site itself was beautiful. However, around it, was like a Catholic shopping mall. Rosaries, statues of the Virgin Mary, people trying to make a buck off of the religious. It was kind of a turn-off.
