The Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes, celebrated on February 11th, honors the Marian apparitions witnessed by Bernadette Soubirous in 1858 in Lourdes, France, where the Virgin Mary appeared to her 18 times. This feast day is significant because it not only commemorates these miraculous events but also emphasizes themes of healing and faith.
The site of the apparitions at Lourdes, France has since become a renowned pilgrimage destination, particularly known for the healing waters of the spring that emerged during the apparitions. Today's feast serves as a reminder of Mary's intercessory role in the lives of believers from all faiths, encouraging devotion, & prayer for those who are sick.
