La Spettacolare🌈 Architettura della Basilica💒di Lourdes

Bettina

June 25, 2025

A lavishly decorated basilica with much pomp and circumstance...
I remembered a saying from my former religion teacher:
For Catholics, the church is the house of God and therefore so lavishly decorated – for Protestants, the church is the house of the community, where God's word is heard...

This church in the internationally important Marian pilgrimage site of Lourdes is not simply dedicated to the Mother of God; it often has additional titles dedicating it to a church feast such as her "Immaculate Conception," Nativity, or Assumption. The patronage chosen for this basilica, however, bears a special suffix: the Rosary.

This refers to a prayer that was very popular in popular piety in earlier times and is still practiced today in many parishes and private households (at least among the older generation). It is particularly popular on foot pilgrimages, for example, because the repetition of the individual decades by the prayer leader and the response of the worshippers easily creates a meditative atmosphere. According to ancient tradition, there were three versions that were meditated on while praying:
+ the Joyful Mysteries
+ the Sorrowful Mysteries
+ the Glorious Mysteries
Pope John Paul II (Karol Wojtyla) added
+ the Luminous Mysteries.
