Capela Das Aparicoes
Here’s the revised translation with your requested phrase:
---
Erected by the community in 1919, following a request from Our Lady during one of her apparitions, this sacred space features the image of Our Lady, symbolizing the exact spot where the shepherd children witnessed the heavenly visions on top of a holm oak tree. Take a moment to light a candle or collect water from the Sanctuary, connecting with the spiritual essence of this revered place.
