This is the famous front page of October 15th 1917 of O Século, an anticlerical Portuguese newspaper with a report from journalist Avelino de Almeida, an eyewitness of the Miracle of Sun at Cova da Iria. The headline reads "How the Sun danced in the middle of the day in Fatima"
In his report of the events of the Miracle of the Sun at Fatima on October 13th, 1917, journalist Avelino de Almeida said "It [the Sun] does not burn, it does not blind, but here a colossal howl rises, and the spectators shout: Miracle! Miracle! the Wonder! the Marvel!" [Part 1]
[Part 2] "To the dazzled eyes of those people, pale with astonishment, with heads uncovered, the sun shook, with never before seen sudden movements, out of all cosmic laws - "the sun danced", according to the typical expression of the peasants"
