Lourdes is a city in southwest France in the foothills of the Pyrenees. It is known all over the world for its Catholic Marian shrines, the so-called "Holy District". Year after year, millions of visitors flock to the Grotto of Massabielle, where, according to legend, the Virgin Mary appeared to a young local girl in 1858. Pilgrims can either drink or bathe in the water that gushes from a spring in the grotto.

The world-famous Marian pilgrimage site of Lourdes is located in the French Pyrenees and is visited by many people every year, including many sick people hoping for healing. The devotional image of the Mother of God has become widespread - not only in France - and Lourdes chapels and grottos have been built by believers everywhere.
The ecclesiastical memorial day "Our Lady in Lourdes" is on February 11th, this is the anniversary of the Apparition of the Virgin Mary (1858), when Our Lady appeared to 14-year-old Bernadette Soubirous in a rock grotto very close to Lourdes. Bernadette later became a nun and died at the age of just 35. She was canonized by Pope Pius XI on December 8, 1933 (the Feast of the Immaculate Conception of Mary).
The Day of the Lourdes Madonna is also World Day of the Sick.
