The world-renowned Marian pilgrimage site of Lourdes is located in the French Pyrenees and is visited annually by large numbers of people, including many sick people hoping for healing. The devotional image of the Virgin Mary has become widespread – not only in France – with Lourdes chapels and grottos being built by believers everywhere. The church feast day of "Our Lady of Lourdes" is February 11th, the anniversary of the Marian apparition (1858), when the Virgin Mary appeared to 14-year-old Bernadette Soubirous in a rock grotto very close to Lourdes. Bernadette later became a nun and died at the age of just 35. On December 8th (the Feast of the Immaculate Conception), 1933, she was canonized by Pope Pius XI. The feast day of the Madonna of Lourdes is also World Day of the Sick.
