Fatima - Garabandal Link.

As many followers of Fatima likely know, when the Miracle of the Sun was taking place publicly before the 70,000 crowd on October 13, 1917 at Fatima, Portugal, the three shepherd children were at the same time having a separate vision. This vision was different than the others, Mary appeared as Our Lady of Mount Carmel holding the baby Jesus as she will later appear over 2,000 times at Garabandal.

I feel, as many do, that Garabandal is the continuation of Fatima. At San Sebastian de Garabandal, Saint Michael first appeared to the visionaries in the evening (8:30 P.M.) of June 18, 1961, exactly 40 years to the day as Fatima’s Lucia on her last day in Aljustrel before leaving for the convent school. That evening, having left her home and paying a last visit to the Cova da Iria, she is said to have seen Our Lady standing at a spot now occupied by the lower steps of the Basilica.

In the sixth apparition at Fatima on October 13, 1917, during the tableaux of visions during the Miracle of the Sun, Our Lady appeared as Our Lady of Mount Carmel with the scapular on her wrist. On July 2, 1961, the Virgin appeared at Garabandal as Our Lady of Mount Carmel with a large brown scapular draped over her right arm.

When Our Lady appeared at Fatima in 1917 she did something she had not done before: she addressed messages specifically to the entire world. While she appeared again after Fatima at Beauraing (1932-33) and Banneux (1933), she did not speak to the world at either of those places. But at Garabandal we again find this universal appeal. Although Fatima and Garabandal are separate events there is continuity in the revelations and similarities in features of the events not found among the other visits of Our Lady during the Marian Age.

It is interesting to note that the 3rd secret was supposed to be released in 1960, and when it was not, Mary appeared at Garabandal in 1961.

See how the world did not heed Mary's Fatima warnings, so she stated them more profoundly at Garabandal.
