At sometime during the day it occurred to me that there were 33 miners,one for every year of Christ's 33 years of life on earth,culminating in the miraculous rescue on the 93rd anniversary of the miracle of the sun at Fatima which occurred on October 13th 1917. It doesn't get much better than that,does it?!?!?!No, you're right, it doesn't.:) I realized the count of miners (it's the age I converted, received Jesus quite literally, and married the man who introduced me to the faith as well), so it's a number that jumps out to me always. But I hadn't realized the miracle of the sun anniversary, and you saw *all* those [Oakley] sunglasses. Wee bit of a marketing thing, but there must be a tie-in there somewhere.

onlookers star directly into the sun as it begins to spin and emit iridescent colors.
