Lourdes is one of the world's most visited places of pilgrimages, which began in 1858 with a series of 18 appearances of the Virgin Maria.
The 14 year old Bernadette Soubirouns saw repeatedly the Virgin Mary at the grotto of Massabielle beginning from February 11th. Mary was dressed in a white cloth with a blue belt. During one of these encounters, the young Bernadette opened a source in the Massabielle grotto; its water is nowadays considered curative.

Although studies did not find out any unusual properties of the spring water, every year about 6 million people visit Lourdes in order to heal from their diseases, injuries and ailments.


The commemoration of the apparitions is celebrated on February 11th.
