The number '13' is often associated to bad luck. However, the belief that the number 13 is bad luck or an unlucky number is essentially a superstition, and as Catholics, we should never engage ourselves in believing such. There is more holy events to the number '13' that we need to consider, and most of them belong to the Our Lady: ✔️ Our Lady of Fatima appeared on the 13th day of May (a month dedicated to Our Lady); furthermore, she appeared at Fatima on the 13th of every month for 6 months. ✔️ The Miracle of the Sun also occurred on the 13th day of October—a month dedicated to the Rosary. ✔️ Our Lady entrusted the rosary to St. Dominic in the 13th Century. ✔️ During the Descent of the Holy Spirit, Our Lady was the 13th person in the room. ✔️ 'M' for Mary, is the 13th letter in the English Alphabet. ✔️ St. John Paul II credited Our Lady with the miracle that saved his life—after he was shot three times on May 13, 1981. Same day of 1982, the Polish Pope later placed the bullets into Our Lady's crown at the Shrine in Fatima. --- ### Hashtags #number13 #ourlady #fatima #catholicfaith #miracles #superstition #holyevents #mariandevotion #praytherosary #stdominic #saints #miracleofthesun #blessedmary #popejohnpaulii #faith #divineintervention #religioussignificance #spiritualmeaning #historyoffatima
