Miracle of Lourdes

The Miracle of Lourdes refers to a series of reported miraculous healings associated with the Marian apparitions that occurred in Lourdes, France, in 1858. A young girl named Bernadette Soubirous claimed to see a vision of the Virgin Mary in a grotto. Since then, many pilgrims have visited the site, seeking healing from various ailments. The Catholic Church has officially recognized 70 miracles and thousands of other healings, though only a few are deemed scientifically inexplicable. Lourdes has since become a major pilgrimage destination, symbolizing faith and hope for those seeking spiritual and physical healing.
