Interesting post. I noted the Portugese representation being quoted. The Portugese are a fairly strict Roman Catholic country. A trip to Fatima a few years ago (2002) opened my eyes up to that. It was a bit of an eyeopener to be honest. First time I had seen religious tourism too.

I am not religious but I was staggered by what I saw.

"The shrine attracts a large number of Roman Catholics, and every year pilgrims fill the country road that leads to the shrine with crowds that approach one million on May 13th and October 13th, the significant dates of the Fátima apparitions. Overall, about four million pilgrims visit the basilica every year."
