Lourdes makes me think of a rapper or hip-hop artist, but apparently it is a town in
France with a neat looking castle.
According to legend, the Virgin
Mary appeared to
Maria Bernada Sobirós (in her native Occitan language) on a total of eighteen occasions at
Lourdes. Since that time,
Lourdes has become a place of pilgrimage and is associated with miraculous healings.
