pope pius xii approved the "fatima apparitions" in 1940. four times during the week that he declared the dogma of the assumption of mary (33 years after the actual event said to have occurred in fatima), pope pius xii claimed to have witnessed the same "miracle of the sun". at 4:00 pm on 30 october 1950, during a walk in the vatican gardens, he arrived at the statue of our lady of lourdes and began to see the miracle. he described himself in his handwritten notes as "awestruck." he saw the same miracle on 31 october, again on 1 november (the date of the definition of the dogma) and then again on 8 november. he wrote that on other days at about the same time he tried to see if he could observe the miracle of the sun, but was unable to. he confided this information to a number of vatican cardinals, to sr. pascalina lehnert (the nun in charge of the papal apartments) and finally to handwritten notes (discovered in 2008) that were later placed on display at the vatican.
