As told by Maria Rosa (mother of Lúcia), sworn deposition to the canonical commission (Dr. Manuel Nunes Formigão, relator)
English

On the nineteenth, Lúcia came home at night carrying a little branch of holm oak in her hand and said that Our Lady had appeared to her a little before sunset, around the middle of the afternoon, at four o'clock, she having been at home with the cattle at noon. The mother took the branch and noticed that it smelled very sweet. The scent could not be compared with any other scent. She was unbelieving and was somewhat shaken, a little more convinced. Her daughter said that the Lady had said that they should keep going to the Cova da Iria and that she would work a miracle in October at the Cova da Iria, that the soldiers would come back from the war, that Our Lady of Sorrows would come, and other things besides.

Português (original)

No dia dezanove, a Lúcia chegou a casa à noite, trazendo na mão um raminho de azinheira e disse que Nossa Senhora lhe tinha aparecido um pouco antes do sol posto, aí pelo meio da tarde, às quatro horas, tendo estado ao meio-dia com o gado em casa. A mãe pegou no ramo e notou que cheirava muito bem. O cheiro não se podia comparar com nenhum outro cheiro. Ela era descrente e ficou um pouco quebrada, um pouco mais convencida. Disse a filha que a Senhora tinha dito que continuassem a ir à Cova da Iria e que havia de fazer um milagre em outubro na Cova da Iria, que os militares haviam de vir da guerra, que havia de vir Nossa Senhora das Dores e outras coisas mais.
