Lourdes Pilgrimage
The Lourdes Pilgrimage is an annual event where thousands of people travel to Lourdes, a small town in France, to visit the site where Saint Bernadette Soubirous reported visions of the Virgin Mary in 1858. This pilgrimage attracts individuals seeking spiritual healing, reflection, and connection with their faith.
During the pilgrimage, participants often attend religious ceremonies, including Mass and processions, and visit the Grotto of Massabielle, where the apparitions occurred. Many also bathe in the healing waters of Lourdes, believed by some to have miraculous properties. The event fosters a sense of community and devotion among pilgrims.
