LISBON, PORTUGAL APRIL 19, 2008
We arrived at Lisbon early in the morning to be greeted by the monument to Christ the King (Cristo Rei) that stands on the south side of the river in Almada across from Lisbon on the north. The citizens of Portugal built the statue in thanks to God for being saved from World War II. Portugal had stayed neutral during the war.
We caught the tour to Fatima, which was 100 km away, early in the morning. Fatima is the sight of the vision of the Virgin Mary to 3 little Shepard children. During the various sightings the children received several messages.
World War I
Fall of the Berlin Wall
Assassination of the Pope
These messages were turned over to the Vatican before the last one came to pass. After the assassination attempt on Pope John Paul II the third message was announced. The Pope came to Fatima and gave the bullet removed from his body to include in the crown of Our Lady.
After returning for the tour we attended a special dinner sponsored by Cunard and the Queen Victoria. The dinner was held on the floor the old Bull Fighting Arena. The elegant formal dinner was entertained by singers and dancers in authentic Portugese dress. We had matadors and picadors and all the rest.
See the final picture at night with Judy returning to the Queen Victoria.
