About this portal

The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes, at the foot of the French Pyrenees, is one of the most visited pilgrimage centers in the world, with about four to five million visitors per year. In 1858, the young Bernadette Soubirous reported eighteen apparitions of the Virgin Mary in the Grotto of Massabielle, from which the spring emerged whose waters are associated with countless reports of healing. Since then, more than 200 million people have visited the sanctuary, many in search of consolation and renewal. The place is a focus of faith, compassion, and healing energy.
