Lourdes – surrounded by a feeling of camaraderie and bonhomie.
A difficult operational exercise – where so many pilgrims are hopeful of a miracle cure, high numbers are extremely reliant on their carers. All are drawn to the significant Catholic domain (Sanctuary of our Lady of Lourdes) where the 14-year old Bernadette Soubirous is said to have first encountered the Blessed Virgin Mary on 11th February 1858.
