The Story of Saint Bernadette of Lourdes
Born January 7th, 1844, Bernadette was the oldest of six children in a very poor family headed by Francois and Louise Casterot. She was hired out as a servant from age twelve to age fourteen. On February 11, 1858, around the time of her first Communion, she received a vision of the Virgin Mary. She received seventeen more visions over the next five months and was led to a spring of healing waters. She moved into a house with the sisters of Nevers at Lourdes where she continued to live. There she also worked and learned to read and write. The sisters cared for the sick and indigent. At age twenty-two they admitted Bernadette into their order, as she was sickly. Bernadette died on April 16th, 1879 in Nevers France of natural causes, with a prayer for Mary's aid.
Bernadette was Beatified in 1925 and in 1933 Bernadette was Canonized by Pope Pius XI.
Since the appearances of Mary to young Bernadette in 1858, more than 200 million people have visited the shrine and spring of Lourdes.
The Spring at the Shrine of Lourdes
Lourdes Water is water that comes from the miraculous spring at the Shrine of Lourdes in Southern France. This spring gushed forth “miraculously” on February 25th, 1858 when Bernadette scratched the soil on which she was kneeling. Since then the water from this spring has been instrumental in granting countless miraculous cures and is known the world over as Lourdes Water.
Millions of the faithful report there is a powerful healing energy present that has made the Basilica the most visited pilgrimage shrine in all Christendom. The origins of the pilgrimage to Lourdes began with Bernadette Soubirous, the fourteen year old daughter of devout Christian peasants. Between February 11 and July 16, 1858, Bernadette saw apparitions of a white-robed lady 18 times in a small grotto called Massabiele, along the banks of the river Gave de Pau. In the apparitions the lady told Bernadette to "go tell the village priest to build a chapel here" and that many people would soon come in procession to the holy grotto. On the day of the 16th apparition, March 25, the lady revealed herself as Mary. During her ecstatic trance in front of the grotto that day, Bernadette suddenly rose from her knees, walked a short distance, and fell to the ground. Fervently she began to dig in the earth until a small puddle of water appeared. Over the next few days the puddle gradually formed into a pool and eventually became the sacred Spring for which Lourdes is now so famous. From 1864 to 1872 the site was mostly a regional pilgrimage destination attracting approximately 30,000 persons per year. Initially the shrine was not known for its curative power but after 1873, when incidents of healing at the spring began to be reported, the shrine rapidly developed a national and then international reputation for having therapeutic powers. Pilgrims visiting Lourdes for its healing powers bathe in pools filled with cold water piped from Bernadette's spring. Reports of miracles are very thoroughly examined and evidence seems to indicate that there are indeed many cases of verifiable healings at the grotto.
The increasing number of pilgrims eventually overcrowded the original basilica, built above the grotto in 1876, and in 1958 an immense concrete church, seating 20,000, was built. The stream of pilgrims to Lourdes is characterized by a strong seasonality. The season lasts from April through October, with the main pilgrimage day being August 15, the Marian Feast of Assumption. Four to six million pilgrims visit the shrine each year, and a study done in 1978 showed the pilgrims coming from 111 countries with females accounting for 69% of the pilgrims. It is estimated that more than 200 million pilgrims have come to Lourdes since 1860. According to the author's theories regarding the powers at sacred sites, this large number of devout pilgrims has contributed to and thereby amplified the field of holiness that surrounds the shrine of Lourdes. This field then attracts more pilgrims who in turn contribute to the further empowerment of the field.
