________________________________________________
_Aljustrel es una aldea de la freguesia de Fátima, en el municipio de Ourém, provincia de la Beira Litoral, distrito de Santarém, en la región del Centro de Portugal y subregión de Medio Tajo.
El pueblo dista cerca de 2 km de la sede de la parroquia y 3 km de la Cova da Iria, el lugar donde tuvieron lugar las principales apariciones de la Santísima Virgen María y donde se alza el internacionalmente conocido Santuario de Fátima.
Se trata también de una localidad conocida, sobre todo, por tratarse del lugar de origen de los tres pastorcitos, Lucía dos Santos y sus primos Francisco y Jacinta Marto, videntes de las apariciones de Fátima.
Por este motivo, es lugar de bastante turismo, sobre todo de peregrinos que se dirigen al Santuario de Nuestra Señora del Rosario de Fátima y que, durante su estancia, aprovechan para conocer el contexto original de las apariciones de 1916 y 1917, el origen y la vida de los tres pastorcitos y de sus familias.
Es posible visitar, en Aljustrel, las casas donde nacieron los videntes de Fátima, así como una casa-museo y un museo etnográfico.

In 1916, on three separate occasions, Lucia Santos and her two cousins, Jacinta and Francisco Marto, began witnessing apparitions of an angel in the region of Ourém. These visitations persisted until the 13 May 1917 when, while tending their family's sheep in Cova da Iria, they witnessed the apparition of what they later assumed was the Virgin Mary, and began doing penance and self-sacrifice to atone for sinners. Many flocked to Fátima and Aljustrel to witness these apparitions along with the children, but not before the children were jailed for being politically disruptive. These visitations culminated in the public Miracle of the Sun event, even as the apparition of Mary divulged three secrets to the children. Although the last apparition occurred on 13 October 1917, the region of Fátima continued to be a destination of pilgrims. Victims of the 1918 flu pandemic epidemic, both cousins (Francisco and Jacinta Marto) died on 4 April 1919 and 20 February 1920 (in Aljustrel and Lisbon), respectively. Along with the Three Secrets of Fátima, their stories (and that of Lucia), would be linked to religious construction that followed in Fátima. A small chapel, the Capelinha das Aparições (Chapel of the Apparitions) was begun on 28 April 1919 by local people: its construction was neither hindered or encouraged by church authorities.
On 13 May 1920, pilgrims defied government troops to install a statue of the Virgin Mary in the chapel, while the first officially celebrated mass occurred on 13 October 1921. A hostel for the sick was also begun in the same year, but the original chapel was destroyed on 6 March 1922.
The first investigations (canonical process) by the Roman Catholic Church in regards to the events at Fátima began on 3 May 1922. Meanwhile, small Chapel of the Appariations was rebuilt and functioning by 1923. It would take the next four years to see a change in attitude from the Roman Catholic church; on 26 July 1927, the Bishop of Leiria, presided over the first religious service at Cova da Iria, that included the blessing of the 11 kilometres stations of the cross on the mountain road to the site from Reguengo do Fetal. On 13 May 1928, the first foundation stone was laid in the construction of the basilica and colonnade of Fátima, a process that continued until 1954. The construction of the colonnade, by architect António Lino began in 1949 and extended to 1954. Meanwhile, on 13 October 1930, the Roman Catholic Church permitted the existence of the first cult of Nossa Senhora de Fátima (Our Lady of Fátima). Even before the completion of the complex, the mortal remains of Jacinta Marto was moved from her modest grave in Vila Nova de Ourém (where she had been buried following her death) to Fátima (12 September 1935), and later (on 1 May 1951) to the completed basilica sanctuary. Her brother's remains, were moved from the cemetery in Fátima to the basilica on 13 March 1952. An organ was also mounted that same year in the completed church, by the firm Fratelli Rufatti of Pádua. Before this period, on 13 May 1942, a large pilgrimage had already to marked the 25th anniversary of the apparitions. Two years later (on 13 May 1946), Cardinal Massella, Pontifical Legate, crowned the image of Our Lady of Fátima in the Chapel of the Apparitions, marking a complete reversal in the official posture of the Vatican See towards the events at Fátima. On 7 October 1953 the Church of the Sanctuary of Fátima was consecrated, and within a year, Pope Pius XII conceded the church the title of Basilica in his short Luce Superna document (November 1954).
On 13 May 1956, cardinal Angelo Roncalli, patriarch of Venice, and future Pope John XXIII, presided over an international pilgrimage anniversary. From this point forward, there would continue to be an active presence and influence of the patriarchy of the Vatican in the events at the Fátima. On 1 January 1960, the sacred Lausperene rite was initiated.
The sections of the organ, until this time dispersed throughout the basilica were united in one unit in 1962, in the high choir.
On 13 May 1967, Pope Paul VI visits Fátima to mark the 50th anniversary of the first apparitions.
On 19 September 1977, the civil parish was elevated to the status of town. Between 12–13 May 1982, in a pilgrimage to Fátima by Pope John Paul II, the first cornerstone of the Capela do Sagrado Lausperene was laid: the construction would continue until 1987. Its completion and consecretaion on 1 January 1987 was attributed to donations and gifts from the Austrian association Cruzada de Reparação pelo Rosário para a Paz no Mundo (Rosary Repair Crusade for World Peace). Pope John Paul II would return once more on 12–13 May 1991 to preside over the international pilgrimage anniversary. On 4 June 1997, the Portuguese Assembly of the Republic elevated the town of Fátima to the status of city. Following several years of building, on 24 August 2006, the first attempts to classify the sanctuary as a national patrimony were begun, in terms of the transitory regime, but was incomplete due to a sunset clause of 8 September 2001. The shrine attracts every year a large number of Roman Catholic pilgrims, from Portugal and all around the world. This international stature gave Fátima the title of "Shrine of the World". Every year pilgrims fill the country road that leads to the shrine with crowds that approach one million on May 13 and October 13, the significant dates of the Fátima apparitions. Overall, about four million pilgrims visit the basilica every year

Statue of Our Lady of the Rosary in the parish church of Aljustrel, near Fatima, where the three visionaries, St Jacinta, St Francisco, and Lucia were baptised.
Sr Lucia dos Santos made her first confession here when she was 6 years old, and she recalls going to pray in front of this statue, and she asked Our Lady to keep her heart for God alone. And then she said this statue seemed to smile at her in confrmation of her request.
I share this image today because it is Mothering Sunday, or Laetare Sunday when rose vestments are used in church. May Our Most Blessed Mother smile upon us, and may we give our hearts to God; we entrust our own beloved mothers to Him.

#messejana #aljustrel #alentejo #portugal
Messejana, a little town in Aljustrel, was a name carrying a vague memory of the past, maybe a sign on the old way to Algarve, but we didn’t know what to expect, just that it had ruins of an ancient castle.
We were surprised by the richness of its history and architecture and the cinematic value of the small hill where we found, at the top, the ruins of the mentioned castle, reduced to almost nothing but located in such a beautiful spot that makes every visit worth it.
A slight elevation in an otherwise plain region results in 360º open views, in which the colours and patterns of the most iconic Alentejo stand out.
On one side, the Church of Santa Maria, unexpectedly imposing in white and blue.
From the other side, the town’s cluster of white houses. And the old castle, a witness from above. The hot wind, the local shrubbery, the silence only interrupted by the buzzing insects. All conspired to create a moment of discovery of the most authentic and charming Portuguese South.
*
Messejana, uma pequena vila do Concelho de Aljustrel, era um nome que nos evocava alguma vaga menção do passado, uma placa na antiga estrada a caminho do Algarve, mas não sabíamos bem o que esperar, para além do sabermos ter umas ruínas de um antigo castelo.
Surpreendeu-nos a riqueza da história e património, e o aspecto absolutamente cinematográfico do pequeno monte onde estão as ruínas do dito castelo, reduzidas a quase nada, mas localizadas num ponto tão bonito que faz qualquer visita valer a pena.
Uma ligeira elevação numa região plana resulta em vistas de 360 graus, desimpedidas, onde as cores e padrões do Alentejo mais icónico sobressaem.
De um lado, a Igreja de Santa Maria, inesperadamente imponente e altiva em branco e azul.
Do outro, em baixo, o casario branco da vila. E o antigo castelo, testemunha sobranceira. O vento quente, a vegetação local, o silêncio apenas cortado pelo zumbir dos insectos. Tudo contribuiu para um momento de descoberta do sul mais belo.

Museu Mineiro do Lousal-Azinheira dos Barros e São Mamede do Sádão-concelho de Grândola, distrito de Setúbal, Portugal.
Foi a partir precisamente da terceira década do nosso século que o Lousal começou a ser explorado de forma mais intensa, facto a que não é estranha a importância crescente, do ponto de vista económico, das pirites cupríferas, em virtude da procura do ácido sulfúrico. A SAPEC, que em 1928 começava a laborar em Setúbal com uma fábrica de superfosfatos, pertencia ao mesmo grupo proprietário das minas e era um dos consumidores internos das pirites do Lousal, juntamente com a CUF (ainda que esta estivesse principalmente ligada ao complexo mineiro de Aljustrel).
Foi entre os finais dos anos 50 e o início dos anos 60 que se iniciaram estudos para a mecanização das minas do Lousal, tendo havido contactos com as Minas de Montevechio, na Sardenha, cujo chefe dos serviços mecanizados fora o inventor dos protótipos de elementos-chave introduzidos nos trabalhos de lavra do Lousal – as pás carregadores pneumáticas autotransportadoras e os camiões pneumáticos auto transportadores de entulhos (dumpers).

The first investigations (canonical process) by the Roman Catholic Church in regards to the events at Fátima began on 3 May 1922. Meanwhile, small Chapel of the Appariations was rebuilt and functioning by 1923. It would take the next four years to see a change in attitude from the Roman Catholic church; on 26 July 1927, the Bishop of Leiria, presided over the first religious service at Cova da Iria, that included the blessing of the 11 kilometres stations of the cross on the mountain road to the site from Reguengo do Fetal. On 13 May 1928, the first foundation stone was laid in the construction of the basilica and colonnade of Fátima, a process that continued until 1954. The construction of the colonnade, by architect António Lino began in 1949 and extended to 1954. Meanwhile, on 13 October 1930, the Roman Catholic Church permitted the existence of the first cult of Nossa Senhora de Fátima (Our Lady of Fátima). Even before the completion of the complex, the mortal remains of Jacinta Marto was moved from her modest grave in Vila Nova de Ourém (where she had been buried following her death) to Fátima (12 September 1935), and later (on 1 May 1951) to the completed basilica sanctuary. Her brother's remains, were moved from the cemetery in Fátima to the basilica on 13 March 1952. An organ was also mounted that same year in the completed church, by the firm Fratelli Rufatti of Pádua. Before this period, on 13 May 1942, a large pilgrimage had already to marked the 25th anniversary of the apparitions. Two years later (on 13 May 1946), Cardinal Massella, Pontifical Legate, crowned the image of Our Lady of Fátima in the Chapel of the Apparitions, marking a complete reversal in the official posture of the Vatican See towards the events at Fátima. On 7 October 1953 the Church of the Sanctuary of Fátima was consecrated, and within a year, Pope Pius XII conceded the church the title of Basilica in his short Luce Superna document (November 1954).
On 13 May 1956, cardinal Angelo Roncalli, patriarch of Venice, and future Pope John XXIII, presided over an international pilgrimage anniversary. From this point forward, there would continue to be an active presence and influence of the patriarchy of the Vatican in the events at the Fátima. On 1 January 1960, the sacred Lausperene rite was initiated.
The sections of the organ, until this time dispersed throughout the basilica were united in one unit in 1962, in the high choir.
On 13 May 1967, Pope Paul VI visits Fátima to mark the 50th anniversary of the first apparitions.
On 19 September 1977, the civil parish was elevated to the status of town. Between 12–13 May 1982, in a pilgrimage to Fátima by Pope John Paul II, the first cornerstone of the Capela do Sagrado Lausperene was laid: the construction would continue until 1987. Its completion and consecretaion on 1 January 1987 was attributed to donations and gifts from the Austrian association Cruzada de Reparação pelo Rosário para a Paz no Mundo (Rosary Repair Crusade for World Peace). Pope John Paul II would return once more on 12–13 May 1991 to preside over the international pilgrimage anniversary. On 4 June 1997, the Portuguese Assembly of the Republic elevated the town of Fátima to the status of city. Following several years of building, on 24 August 2006, the first attempts to classify the sanctuary as a national patrimony were begun, in terms of the transitory regime, but was incomplete due to a sunset clause of 8 September 2001. The shrine attracts every year a large number of Roman Catholic pilgrims, from Portugal and all around the world. This international stature gave Fátima the title of "Shrine of the World". Every year pilgrims fill the country road that leads to the shrine with crowds that approach one million on May 13 and October 13, the significant dates of the Fátima apparitions. Overall, about four million pilgrims visit the basilica every year.
"Consider the meeting of the Son and the Mother, which took place on this journey. Jesus and Mary looked at each other, and their looks became as so many arrows to wound those hearts which loved each other so tenderly.
My most loving Jesus, by the sorrow Thou didst experience in this meeting, grant me the grace of a truly devoted love for Thy most holy Mother. And thou, my Queen, who wast overwhelmed with sorrow, obtain for me by thy intercession a continual and tender remembrance of the Passion of thy Son. I love Thee, Jesus my love; I repent of ever having offended Thee. Never permit me to offend Thee again. Grant that I may love Thee always; and then do with me what Thou wilt."
– Reflection by St Alphonsus Liguori.
This station is from Fatima in Portugal, on the Shepherds' Way from Aljustrel to Cova da Iria. They were offered by Catholics from Hungary, were designed by Ladislau Marec.
During Passiontide, I am posting one Station of the Cross a day, each taken from a different location in the world.
Foi um lavrador da região, António Manuel, que, em Agosto de 1882, requereu ao Ministério das Obras Públicas e Minas o diploma de descoberta do jazigo do Lousal, que efectivamente foi registado em seu nome no ano seguinte. A concessão provisória foi-lhe atribuída em 1885 e, mais tarde, transmitida ao engenheiro de minas Alfredo Masson, que a manteve até 1899 (data de alvará de abandono). Guilherme Ferreira Pinto Basto foi quem obteve a nova concessão, em 1900. Novas concessões foram feitas, em 1904 (Lousal Novo) e em 1922 (Lousal n.º 2, Lousal n.º 3, Sítio do Montado e Cerro dos Arneirões). Entretanto, Guilherme Pinto Basto transmitira o direito de exploração da mina à firma Minas dos Barros, Lda., em 1910. Cinco anos mais tarde a concessão passava para a empresa Henrique Burnay & Companhia e, em 1934, para a Société Anonyme Belge des Mines d'Aljustrel. Durante dois anos a exploração das duas minas foi feita pela mesma empresa que, em 1936, passou à sociedade belga Mines et Industries S.A. a exploração do Lousal.

Stations of the Cross, (on the path to Aljustrel, and passing by Valinhos, site of the 4th appearance,
August 19, 1917).
Stations of the Cross; #3; Jesus falls the first time.
In 1916, on three separate occasions, Lucia Santos and her two cousins, Jacinta and Francisco Marto, began witnessing apparitions of an angel in the region of Ourém. These visitations persisted until the 13 May 1917 when, while tending their family's sheep in Cova da Iria, they witnessed the apparition of what they later assumed was the Virgin Mary, and began doing penance and self-sacrifice to atone for sinners. Many flocked to Fátima and Aljustrel to witness these apparitions along with the children, but not before the children were jailed for being politically disruptive. These visitations culminated in the public Miracle of the Sun event, even as the apparition of Mary divulged three secrets to the children. Although the last apparition occurred on 13 October 1917, the region of Fátima continued to be a destination of pilgrims. Victims of the 1918 flu pandemic epidemic, both cousins (Francisco and Jacinta Marto) died on 4 April 1919 and 20 February 1920 (in Aljustrel and Lisbon), respectively. Along with the Three Secrets of Fátima, their stories (and that of Lucia), would be linked to religious construction that followed in Fátima. A small chapel, the Capelinha das Aparições (Chapel of the Apparitions) was begun on 28 April 1919 by local people: its construction was neither hindered or encouraged by church authorities.
