"Our Lady of Lourdes:
Our Lady of Lourdes is the title given to the Blessed Virgin Mary when she appeared in Lourdes, France. On 11 February 1858, Bernadette Soubirous went to gather firewood with her sister and a friend in the foothills of the Pyrenees in southern France. Bernadette was week from her asthma and fell behind the other girls. Near the river, she heard a rushing sound in the grotto at the bottom of the mountain. She turned to see a bright light and within the light a beautiful lady dressed in white. As she approached, she saw that the lady had yellow roses at her feet and was holding a rosary. After Bernadette knelt and prayed the rosary, the lady disappeared.
Three days later, the lady appeared again in the grotto but only Bernadette could see her. The lady asked Bernadette to continue to come to the grotto and as she did more and more people followed her. On 25 February, the lady told Bernadette to dig in the dirt and drink that water that would come from her digging. With hundreds of people watching, she drank the muddy water. But the next day the water was flowing from the place where she had dug and on 1 March a woman was cured of paralysis after dipping her hand in the spring. The lady then told Bernadette to tell the priests to have a chapel built and processions held there. The priest told Bernadette to ask the lady her name. When Bernadette returned and told him that she was the Immaculate Conception, the priest knew that the apparitions were real because Bernadette would have never heard those words.
The Blessed Mother appeared to Bernadette a total of eighteen times and a large Basilica was built near the grotto. The Church has recognised 67 known cures in the waters at Lourdes which still flow endlessly for the millions of pilgrims that visit each year."
