Heavenly Happenings: The Miracle of the Sun

from History Loves Company · host Chester Sakamoto

Celestial phenomena are nothing new. In fact, they've been recorded throughout human history. The appearance of Halley's Comet in the skies over the English Channel during the Norman Conquest was one such instance. A lunar eclipse prior to the abandonment of several Mayan cities was thought to be an omen from the gods of portents dire. And in an open field in Fátima, Portugal on October 13th, 1917, the sun performed a series of gymnastic-like feats that left witnesses stunned, intrigued, and bewildered. What did the citizens of Fátima see that fateful day? Was it celestial or superstitious in nature? And if it can't be explained scientifically, was it really the miracle they said it was? Tune in to find out!
