22 Mystically Beautiful Photos of Lourdes
In 1858, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to a young peasant girl named Bernadette Soubirous in the small town of Lourdes, France. Our Lady, who said of herself “I am the Immaculate Conception,” told the girl to dig in a certain spot and drink the water she found. Soon after, others who drank or bathed in the water reported miracles.
The water still gushes forth from the ground to this day, and millions of pilgrims visit each year.
