History's Queen: Exploring Mary's Pivotal Role from Age to Age
The Virgin Mary’s part in history doesn’t begin and end with her yes to God. Popular Catholic author Mike Aquilina points out that Mary is at the center of history from creation to the end of time and everywhere in between. In History’s Queen, you’ll learn about the many ways the mother of humanity has left her mark on the great events of time, not only as we see them in the Bible, but also in pivotal events such as Fatima, the battle of Lepanto, and the plague.
In this journey through two thousand years of Mary’s active participation in world events, each chapter of History’s Queen highlights a Marian intervention that is emblematic of a particular era, and opens our eyes to the ways in which Mary provides a vital key for understanding both our past and our future.
Mike Aquilina—author of The History of the Church in 100 Objects and editor of the Reclaiming Catholic History series—provides a fresh, fascinating, and classical view of history to today’s readers, exploring:
- Mary’s centrality in the Church Fathers’ view of history;
- Mary’s role in preserving Byzantium during the explosive rise of Islam;
- Marian devotion in medieval Ireland that inspired generations of great missionaries;
- Mary’s role in military victories at Lepanto and Vienna; and
- the message of peace received by three shepherd children in Fatima that sustained the world through a century of unprecedented violence and apostasy.
Fatima DVD
A powerful and uplifting feature film that tells the dramatic true story of the apparitions of the Mother of God in 1917 to three shepherd children in Fatima, Portugal. The revelations from their visions inspire believers but anger officials of both the Church and the secular government, who try to force them to recant their story. The children must convince them of Our Lady’s appearances, and her urgent message to the world for prayer, penance and conversion.
As word of their visions spreads, tens of thousands of pilgrims flock to Fatima in hopes of witnessing a miracle. Over 70,000 witnesses experience the spectacular Miracle of the Sun that will change their lives forever. Stars Harvey Keitel, Gorin Visnjic, Joaquim de Almeida, Sonia Braga, Stephanie Gil, and Lucia Moniz.
