The city of Lourdes, located in the French Pyrenees, is a world-famous Marian pilgrimage site. The feast day of "Our Lady in Lourdes" is on February 11th, this is the anniversary of the apparition of Mary in 1858, when Our Lady appeared to 14-year-old Bernadette Soubirous in a rock grotto near Lourdes. Bernadette later became a nun and died at the age of only 35. On December 8th (the feast of the Immaculate Conception of Mary) in 1933, she was canonized by Pope Pius XI. The day of remembrance of the Lourdes Madonna is also World Day of the Sick.
