200-Artspace.png - Processions and Pilgrimages --- One of the most famous places of pilgrimage is the Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes, France. In 1858, the Blessed Virgin, proclaiming herself the Immaculate Conception, appeared there to a little peasant girl named Bernadette. From then on, a spring has flowed out of the grotto, the water of which has been the means of curing hundreds of thousands. Pilgrims from the remotest parts of the world going to the shrine number about a million a year. The cures are certified by a bureau of eminent physicians, most of whom are non-Catholic. At Lourdes, physical cures are not the only ones made; there are also many conversions.
