The Children of Fatima and the Two Madonnas

An Except from A Song of Songs:  Mary Magdalene Awakes:

Of all the curious phenomenon in the story of the appearance of the Virgin to the children of Fatima, the one that Jenna found most interesting, next to the final appearance of Mary to 70,000 people, where a silver disk emerged from the clouds and shot radiant colored lights all around and the sun appeared to stop in its orbit, was the report by two of the children that they actually saw two Madonnas, and not just one.

Two Madonna's?  Jenna was riveted by this.  She thought back to an exhibit she had seen in Montreal  by the painter Maurice Denis.  She was arrested by a painting called, "Sacred Heart Crucified", which was a depiction of the crucifixion.  The only two people in black were the two Mary's, the Virgin and the Magdalene, and they were on their knees before the cross, with their arms raised in anguish.  

The interesting thing about the painting was that these two Mary's shared one body.  They were kneeling side by side with their backs to the viewer, almost as though they were Siamese twins, and their upraised arms were conjoined.  Jenna was captured by this painting and stood there for a long time.

She almost walked away before reading the inscription at the top which said, "Le Chevalier n'est pas mort", the Knight is not dead.
