Parish Cemetery In Fatima (where Francisco and Jacinta were originally buried)

Parish Cemetery in Fatima (Original Burial Site for Francisco & Jacinta)

When the two Marto children died at ages 10 (Francisco - 1919) and 9 (Jacinta - 1920), they were buried in the parish cemetery.

Here are some photos of that cemetery . . . the children's remains were moved to the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary in Fatima in the early 1950's.
