Victims of the 1918 flu pandemic epidemic, both cousins (Francisco and Jacinta Marto) died on 4 April 1919 and 20 February 1920 (in Aljustrel and Lisbon), respectively. Along with the Three Secrets of Fátima, their stories (and that of Lúcia), would be linked to religious construction that followed in Fátima. A small chapel, the "Capelinha das Aparições" (Chapel of the Apparitions) was started on 28 April 1919 by local people: its construction was neither hindered or encouraged by church authorities.
