Re: Lourdes
in reply to a message by erb816
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.
