Fátima | Dinner Napkins

INSPIRATION: Our Lady appeared to three young children on October 13, 1917, in Portugal, Fatima. Large crowds gathered in Fatima to catch a glimpse of a lady that three shepherd children had said appeared to them. Witnesses said that after a period of heavy rain, the clouds cleared and the sun began to "dance" across the sky. The children reported that the lady wore white and held a rosary in her hand. She implored them to pray the rosary everyday as this prayer would lead to the end of WWI.

When I think of Portugal, I imagine the color palette used in this collection: blues, soft greens, and vibrant reds. When I imagine Mary's apparition to the children, I imagine she spoke with the gentleness and care of a mother shrouded in a soft glow with the most beautiful, delicate features.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: These napkins come in a set of 4, 20” square. They are hand block printed on percale, which is a wrinkle-resistant, very soft but durable fabric.
