Message of Fatima: A big Cross of rough-hewn trunks as of a cork-tree with the bark


A map of Cork forests around the Mediterranean could help to pinpoint the location of this steep mountain mentioned in the Message of Fatima.
"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." Message of Fatima

The possible location of the above event is found near a cork forest: "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;"
