Basking in the hot sun, here we are all set for local day trip at Lourdes. The house of Bernadette Soubirous and her parents is a now a museum, which includes a mill, a kitchen, Bernadette's bedroom and family photographs.
The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes incorporates 52 hectares of property and 22 places of worship,
including a sacred grotto, two basilicas, and a variety of buildings for pilgrims and the sick. Outside the
sanctuary, many pilgrims also visit the home of the young visionary,St. Bernadette.
Bernadette Soubirous is the saint of Lourdes, France. Visionary and messenger of the Immaculate Conception, she told us the very words of the Virgin Mary, spoken in the native tongue of
Southern France and Northern Spain.She spoke words teaching of the merits of prayer, poverty, penance,
and church.
