First Saturdays Devotion
The First Saturdays Devotion, also called the Communion of Reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, is a Catholic devotion which, according to Lúcia dos Santos, was requested by the Virgin Mary during the apparitions of Our Lady of Fátima in Fátima, Portugal, on 13 May 1917, as well as during apparitions in Pontevedra, Spain, on 10 December 1925 and 15 February 1926. The purpose of this devotion is to perform acts of reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and a promise of assistance at the hour of death by Mary was reportedly attached to this devotion during the Pontevedra apparitions.
