In Auckland, the Cathedral of Santa Maria has a chapel dedicated to the Virgin of Fatima. The New Zealanders venerate the Virgin as the protector of the country.
The Catholic Maori have created representations of the Virgin with elements of Maori culture, such as moko (facial tattoo) and korowai (ceremonial mantle).
The Virgin of Fatima is the mother of all New Zealanders, both Pakeha and Māori.
