The third secret of Fatima refers to the third and final part of a series of secrets revealed to three young shepherds in Fatima, Portugal, in 1917. The secrets were said to have been given to the children by the Virgin Mary and contained prophecies about the future. The third secret was not revealed until 2000, when it was published by the Vatican.
The third secret has been interpreted in various ways, but it is generally believed to refer to a period of great tribulation that will occur in the future. The secret also mentions that the Pope and many other priests will be killed during this time. Some believe that the third secret refers to the rise of a new world order or to a nuclear war.
