Synopsis of LOURDES - A Film Documentary
Lourdes, the film, was shot on location in Lourdes, France, to document this most famous of Marian shrines. Each year over five million pilgrims visit this site where, in 1858, Bernadette Soubirous drew spring water from the rock of Massabielle. Although hundreds of people witnessed this event, only Bernadette could see the apparition of the Virgin Mary, who instructed her to drink and wash from this spring. Others followed her to the waters, namely the sick and the incurably ill, many of whom walked away cured of their afflictions instantly and permanently. |
