Born Marie-Bernarde Soubirous on january 7th 1844, when she was just 14-years old she saw visions of "a small young lady" who would appear on top of a rock in a grotto in Lourdes, France. the "apparition" is said to of requested St. Bernadette to have a chapel built on that spot and to have people come in procession. Word spread of her visions and of the significance of the grotto and soon curious visitors from nearby came to investigate the area for themselves, this grew into many people making distant pilgrimages jsut to see if they would see the lady themselves. a Local priest and Bishop bought the land and made it more accessable to visitors and eventually built a chapel, as the lady had requested. St. Bernadette passed away 134 years ago today, April 16th, 1879 at the age of 35.
