I want to return to the so-called "Miracle of the Sun" and post a low-down on what really happened. In short, Sister Lucia, one of the so-called "visionaries", was a fraud. Here's why -- the Miracle of the Sun did not occur at solar noon as "predicted" by Lucia. Here's why:
1) The so-called "miracle" happened at 13:30 civil time or 12:30 standard time; Portugal was, in 1917, observing Daylight Saving Time (no 's' on the end for those of you who need the grammar police!):

2) The Cova da Iria in Fátima is located at 39°37′55.67″N 8°40′18.43″W:

3) Use the following website:
https://www.esrl.noaa.gov/gmd/grad/solcalc/
4) But, first, you need to convert #2 to decimal values (but, be sure to put a '-' sign for the longitude):
http://www.latlong.net/degrees-minutes-s...al-degrees
When you do, you'll get the following values: 39.63213056 Lat, -8.67166667 Long, which you can verify on the interactive map.
Now, plug the above values into #3, use 12:30 for your standard time (don't check the DST box), click 'Show Azimuth' and you'll get the following:

Sorry that I could not do an image insert; it wasn't working for some reason.
