Pontevedra apparitions

Eight years after the apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Fátima, Portugal, the last surviving seer, known with the religious name of Sister Lúcia, was living in a Dorothean nuns convent in Pontevedra, Spain.

During this apparition, the child Jesus asked Sister Lúcia "... have compassion on the heart of your most holy Mother, covered with thorns, with which ungrateful men pierce at every moment, and there is no one to make an act of reparation to remove them.

If one fulfilled these conditions on the First Saturday of five consecutive months, the Virgin Mary promised special graces at the hour of death.

On July 1, 1905, Pope Pius X approved and granted indulgences for the practice of the first Saturdays of twelve consecutive months in honor of the Immaculate Conception.
