Excerpt from the link: " Faithful Catholics in Italy are fasting on bread and water and praying the Rosary together throughout the country.
On Friday, the 100th anniversary of the Miracle of the Sun at Fatima, the Italian Association Accompanying Marian Sanctuaries (Associazione Italiana Accompagnatori Santuari Mariani, or AIASM) sponsored a nationwide day of fasting, as well as a Rosary.
Organizers called it "Rosary at the Border" and praised the Rosary as "the most powerful peace initiative" for their country and the world.
The event's inspiration came from the "Rosary to the Borders" rally in Poland on October 7. Poland's Rosary to the Borders drew well over 1 million participants, making it the largest prayer event in Europe since the 2016 World Youth Day in Kraków, Poland".
