Above: Unretouched original photo of Our Lady of Fátima, holding a Carmel scapular with an illuminated Cross above Her head, visible during Mass the Sunday after the Feast of the Ascension in 2018, at Saint Clare Catholic Church, in Roseville, CA. That Sunday (13 May 2018), not coincidentally, was the 101st anniversary of Our Lady of the Rosary's first appearance at Fátima, Portugal. The light poured through a clear window above the altar. Hundreds of parishioners witnessed the clearly-defined Cross. The Pastor, Father George Snyder, Jr., reports he attempted to recreate the same conditions in the following days, but was unable to do so.
