The samples are particularly symbolic. This is more than an exhibition. It is a catechesis.
It is an exhibition of 90 rosaries from a Portuguese private collection, belonging to a lady who owns more than eight hundred of them, with origin in various countries and made of various materials and in various colors and sizes.
Teresinha (this is her name), who, since she was 8 years old, lives with poor health, has used them all, at least once, to pray the Rosary. That’s how she does her apostolate.
She prefers one of two given to her by Pope Paul II. One of the two is at the exhibition.
In welcoming this exhibition, inaugurated on July 13th by the Bishop of Leiria-Fatima, in the presence of the Apostolic Nuncio in Portugal, the Shrine of Fatima recognizes that its mission is also to promote this prayer, since it is and integral part of the message of Our Lady.
Open to the public at the entrance hall of the Convivium of St. Agustine, in the Complex of Most Holy Trinity Church, until October, the month of the Rosary, the admission to it is free of charge and the exhibition can be visited daily between 9h00 and 19h00.
