파레악 최고의 러닝 경로

Lourdes, a small town in the Pyrenees in southwestern France, became world-famous in 1858 through the Marian apparitions of the young Bernadette Soubirous. Since then, Lourdes has been one of the most important pilgrimage sites of the Catholic Church. Millions of pilgrims visit the Grotto of Massabielle every year to pray or draw water from the spring. The place combines deep spirituality with a quiet, haunting atmosphere and the hope of healing.

nice relaxing hike (down the mountain) not far from Lourdes

An exceptional Marian shrine where the Blessed Virgin is close to pilgrims! You must visit at least once in your life.

Very beautiful place of pilgrimage

This rock grotto, then still outside the village, was the spot where Our Lady appeared to 14-year-old Bernadette Soubirous in 1858. Bernadette later became a nun and died at the age of just 35. On December 8, 1933 (the Feast of the Immaculate Conception), she was canonized by Pope Pius XI.

The world-renowned Marian pilgrimage site of Lourdes is located in the French Pyrenees and is visited annually by large numbers of people, including many sick people hoping for healing. The devotional image of the Virgin Mary has become widespread – not only in France – with Lourdes chapels and grottos being built by believers everywhere. The church feast day of "Our Lady of Lourdes" is February 11th, the anniversary of the Marian apparition (1858), when the Virgin Mary 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. On December 8th (the Feast of the Immaculate Conception), 1933, she was canonized by Pope Pius XI. The feast day of the Madonna of Lourdes is also World Day of the Sick.
