Our dear little Jacinta is just 7 in this photograph, and look how perturbed she is. She had only told people what she had seen. Yet she had been badly treated by many people because of it. No wonder the girl looks so wary. Jacinta, along with her brother Francisco and their cousin Lucia, had seen Mary, the mother of Jesus, in a pasture near their homes in Fatima.

According to Lucia, Jacinta was particularly drawn to making sacrifices for sinners. In 1920, three years after the apparition, Jacinta and Francisco caught the Spanish flu that was ravaging the world with its pandemic. While sick in bed, Our Lady came to visit Francisco and Jacinta again. Lucia reports Jacinta said, "Our Lady came to see us. She told us she would come to take Francisco to heaven very soon, and she asked me if I still wanted to convert more sinners. I said I did" (Fatima in Lucia's Own Words, a book by Sister Lúcia, p 59).

Little Jacinta knew what that meant for her. It meant suffering. It meant the Cross. And yet, she was willing. She was 9 at the time, and she had more courage and more holiness than most of us do far. As Francisco was dying, Jacinta told him, "Give all my love to Our Lord and Our Lady, and tell them that I'll suffer as much as they want, for the conversion of sinners and in reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary" (Fatima in Lucia's Own Words, p 60). She died soon after. Canonized in 2017. The Feast Day for Saints Jacinta and Francisco is celebrated on the date of Jacinta's death, February 20th. (quotes sourced from giveninstitute.com)

We hope our exclusive restorations of this photo, and other Saint photos, let you be closer to the Saint and thus closer to our Lord Jesus. We have several more restored photos of the Fatima Children as well as many other Catholic Saints here at our store.

** IMPORTANT ** IMAGE IS SMALLER THAN THE PAPER!!
There is a white border around the image. About 0.5" for 5x7, 1.3" for 8.5x11", 1.6" for 11x17", and 1.75" for 13x17", so the image is smaller than the paper!!! The border gives the print a nice finished look when framed without a matt.

- Acid-free paper
- Archival pigments, rated to last for generations.
- Cardboard backer
- Above story of the art
- Enclosed in a tight-fitting, crystal clear bag.

Thanks for your interest!

Thanks!
