Lourdes, France, is the site of a shrine to Mary, the mother of [[Jesus]], in honor of a reported series of 18 apparitions in 1858 by her to Bernadette Soubirous, a 14-year-old peasant girl. [[Miraculous]] healings were attributed to wading in a spring that appeared. By 1862 the local authorities of the [[Catholic Church]] had recognized the belief by building a church above the grotto.

From 1883 to 1901 there was the construction of a magnificent church named the Church of the Rosary, which is the destination of millions of pilgrims, many seeking cures for ailments or conversion by submersing oneself into the soothing spring.
