The site of the apparitions, known as the Cova da Iria, became an important Marian pilgrimage destination, and devotion to Our Lady of Fátima spread throughout the world. The sanctuary of Fátima, built on the site of the apparitions, is visited by millions of pilgrims every year. The date of celebration of the apparition of Our Lady of Fátima is May 13, the day on which the first apparition occurred in 1917.
