Abstract

The analysis of the literary production on the subject of Fatima, published in Portugal between 2015 and 2017 on the occasion of the centennial of the events in Cova da Iria, is an opportunity to reflect on the role of the literary device within the ecclesial discourse, showing that the more autonomous in its aesthetic rationality, the more spiritually and sapientially effective it is. Affirming itself as one of the possible expressive vectors of the symbolic conversion of vision into apparition (in the hermeneutical sense of the term), the poetic word is especially receptive to the mystical dimension that constitutes the Fatima secret, and its force of attraction for so many souls, be they believers or not. Finally, this paper provides a short overview of the works analysed.
