SAN FRANCISCO, OCT. 27, 2009 (Zenit.org).- A new film on Mary’s apparitions in Fatima is being offered with an advance screening program for groups before the DVD is available to the public in North America.

"The 13th Day" tells the true story of the May 13 - Oct. 17, 1917, apparitions to Lucia Santos and her cousins, Francisco and Jacinta Marto. The film is based on the memoirs of Lucia after she became a nun.

Ignatius Press, the North American distributor of the film, is offering dioceses, parishes, schools and other organizations an opportunity to show "The 13th Day" before it is available to the public.

The phenomena, whatever they were, were observed by several tens of thousands of people, including some who were miles away from the site and were not "believers" expecting to see anything at all.

Physicist Stanley Jaki hypothesizes that the stunning lighting effects in the sky may have been meteorological in origin, the inexplicable element being how the three ignorant, nearly illiterate young children could have predicted with such utter confidence precisely when and where this extremely unusual display would occur. Jaki's hypothesis seems reasonable to me
