France - The story of the apparitions of the Virgin Mary in Lourdes
has been recorded in detail in handwritten documents. In the middle
of the 1800s Lourdes was an obscure village in the south of France at
the foot of the Pyrenees. The Soubirous family was reduced to poverty,
when Monsieur Soubirous lost his job due to an accident at the water
mill in which he lost an eye. The eldest child, Bernadette, was often
sent to collect wood. On an icy day in February 1858, she saw a vision
of a white lady in a grotto by the river. During the last of 18 apparitions,
the lady revealed her identity, calling herself the Immaculate Conception.
Each year, especially during the summer, special trains leave various
European countries bound for Lourdes. Pilgrimage committees on a non-profit
basis organize the trips. Lourdes has become the major pilgrimage center
for the sick and infirm. Pilgrims make the journey with large groups
of bedridden patients and the disabled. Helpers accompany them, including
doctors and nurses, all volunteers. All day long a steady stream of
tourists visit the site in the grotto where Mary appeared. Many people
feel that drinking the water or bathing in it does them good. Many have
been cured. Time: 1 hr | Production Year: 1995 20243D Sale Price $14.95 |
