Lourdes is a holy town in the
south of France at the foot of the Pyrenees. A
revealation took place in 1858 in a cave by the
town.The Virgin Mary appeared in front of a young girl by the name of Bernadette
After her early death this girl became a saint. For
catholics the water from the source in the cave is
healing. Several million pilgrims visit Lourdes
every year praying to God and drinking from the
source in hope of a miracle.
