Manuel Nunes Formigão

Manuel Nunes Formigão Júnior was a Portuguese Catholic priest. Formigão was one of the first people to look into the phenomenon of the apparitions of Our Lady of Fátima, having been the clergyman sent by the Diocese of Leiria in 1917 to question the three little shepherd children Lúcia dos Santos and Francisco and Jacinta Marto to ascertain the veracity of the apparitions. He later became the founder of the Congregation of the Sisters of Reparation of Our Lady of Fatima, in 1927.

"Miracle of the Sun" witness
On 13 October 1917 Formigão witnessed the Miracle of the Sun and described it "As if like a bolt from the blue, the clouds were wrenched apart, and the sun at its zenith appeared in all its splendor. It began to revolve vertiginously on its axis, like the most magnificent firewheel that could be imagined, taking on all the colors of the rainbow and sending forth multicolored flashes of light, producing the most astounding effect. This sublime and incomparable spectacle, which was repeated three distinct times, lasted for about ten minutes. The immense multitude, overcome by the evidence of such a tremendous prodigy, threw themselves on their knees." == Writings ==
