About Our
Lady of Lourdes...
In
1858, near Lourdes in southern France, Our Lady appeared 18 times to a young
peasant girl named, Bernadette Soubirous.
This beautiful Lady, dressed in white with a blue sash around her waist,
revealed herself as the Immaculate Conception. She asked that a chapel be built
at the location that she appears and told Bernadette to drink from a fountain in
the grotto.
Although no fountain was to be seen, Bernadette dug at the area where
Our Lady appeared, and a spring began to flow. The spring has no curative
property, but water continues to flow in this spring today and has shown
remarkable healing power. Lourdes has become the most famous modern shrine of
Our Lady.
