Pontevedra apparitions

The Pontevedra apparitions refer to a series of reported apparitions of the Virgin Mary and the Child Jesus, experienced by Lúcia dos Santos, one of the Portuguese visionaries of Our Lady of Fátima. These apparitions allegedly took place at the Dorothean convent of Pontevedra, Spain, on December 10, 1925 and February 15, 1926.

Although no canonical inquiry has been initiated by the Catholic Church to assess the authenticity of these apparitions, the First Saturdays Devotion, associated with the apparitions, was approved by the bishop of Leiria on September 13, 1939.
