Marian devotion
Our Lady of Fatima in Benin
Porto-New, Benin
The spiritual missionaries established devotion to Fatima in Benin.
In Porto- Novo, the Cathedral of Santa Maria is the center of the Catholic faith. The Beninese faithful venerate the Virgin of Fatima with processions and songs in the phon language.
