to how people appear in a mirror when they pass in front of it' a Bishop 
dressed in White `we had the impression that it was the Holy Father'. Other 
Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious going up a steep mountain, at 
the top of which there was a big Cross of rough hewn trunks as of a cork tree 
with the bark; before reaching there the Holy Father passed through a big 
city half in ruins and half trembling with halting step, afflicted with pain and 
sorrow, he prayed for the souls of the corpses he met on his way; having 
reached the top of the mountain, on his knees at the foot of the big Cross he 
was killed by a group of soldiers who fired bullets and arrows at him, and in 
the same way there died one after another the other Bishops, Priests, men 
and women Religious, and various lay people of different ranks and 
positions. Beneath  the two arms of the Cross there were two Angels each 
with a crystal aspersorium in his hand, in which they gathered up the blood 
of the Martyrs and with it sprinkled the souls that were making their way to 
God.

    The third secret of Fatima is about the martyrdom of bishops, priests, 
religious, and laypersons. Cardinals Soldano and Ratzinger have stated 
publicly that they believe this refers to past events in the Church. Certainly 
part of the meaning does refer to the many, many holy persons who, in the 
past, have suffered much and died because of their faith in Jesus Christ.  
    3.  But I say more. The third part of the secret of Fatima follows the 
second part, and so the events of the third part occur after the events of the 
second part. At the end of the second part of the secret, the Virgin Mary 
says:  The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me, and she shall be 
converted, and a period of peace will be granted to the world.

 Thus the 
martyrdoms described by the third secret will occur after the consecration of 
Russia and a period of relative peace in the world. 
    According to Sister Lucia (the visionary of Fatima) and Cardinal 
Ratzinger, this act of consecration occurred on March 25, 1984. Not  long 
afterwards, the U.S.S.R. was disbanded, and Russia became a democratic 
country with much greater freedom of religion than in previous decades. 
Russia has been consecrated. And since that time there has been no major 
persecution of Christians resulting in the large number of martyrdoms 
described by the third part of the secret of Fatima. Therefore, the third part 
of the secret refers mainly to the future, not the past. The third part of the 
secret of Fatima describes a Great Martyrdom, which will include the 
martyrdom of the Pope as well as of many other Bishops, priests, religious, 
and laypersons. This Great Martyrdom is yet to occur.
