CUNHA (Maria Teresa Pereira da) & DEMOUTIEZ (Pe., O.M.I.). NOSSA Senhora de Fátima, Peregrina do Mundo Através dos Continentes, A Caminho de Roma, dos Mares e dos Ares. Fátima. 1949-1953. - CUNHA (Maria Teresa Pereira da) & DEMOUTIEZ (Pe., O.M.I.) NOSSA Senhora de Fátima, Peregrina do Mundo Através dos Continentes, A Caminho de Roma, dos Mares e dos Ares . Fátima: s.n., 1949-1953. 3 v. em 1: il.; 245 mm. A rare and highly representative publication of Fatima's international projection in the post-war period, bringing together, in three ”journeys, ” the account and documentation of the first major journeys of the Pilgrim Image of Our Lady of Fatima. The work records not only the itinerary but also the devotional and institutional context of these journeys—public receptions, celebrations, speeches, and contextual notes—establishing, in the language of the time, the symbolic dimension of a ”pilgrimage” undertaken by sea and air, which aims to affirm Fatima as a spiritual phenomenon of transnational reach. The Second Journey corresponds to the great Atlantic voyage of 1948 (Madeira, Azores and Portuguese Africa), while the Third Journey broadens the African horizon, in a narrative of continental crossing (“from Cape Town to Cairo”). The first volume, born from a conference, serves as an introductory text. With the following volumes: 1. First Journey: Beginning of the Pilgrimage in Europe (conference given in Lisbon by Maria Teresa Pereira da Cunha); 2. Second Journey: Madeira, Azores, Portuguese Africa (M. Teresa Pereira da Cunha; with Fr. Demoutiez, OMI); 3. Third Journey: Africa from Cape Town to Cairo (M. Teresa Pereira da Cunha; with Fr. Demoutiez, OMI). ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
