Lourdes first apparition

The wonderful and touching film "The song of Bernadette" (1943), with Jennifer Jones, narrates, with great accuracy from the historical point of view and with a splendid acting, the story of Lourdes.
The young girl Bernadette Soubirous had 18 apparitions of the Virgin Mary, from 11th February to 16th July 1858, at Massabielle Grotto.
The Catholic Church, which has strict criteria for establishing the authenticity of apparitions, approved Lourdes apparitions on 18th June 1862. Bernadette was canonized 8th December 1933.

for ALL have sinned an fall short of the glory of god..we are appointed once to live once to die an then the judgement.all people die an they cannot contact the living.read LUKE in the bible,about the rich ruler who died an lazarus the beggar.who also died.it tells the story of where all people go..

From St Bernadette's Biography:

"How do you know if it's really the Blessed Virgin who appeared to you, that it's not an illusion, a trick of the devil?"

Oh, no! I threw some holy water at her and the apparition made the sign of the cross. She told me. "I am the Immaculate Conception." and said the rosary with me." P. 153

@Scrumdidilyumpchious Yeah, Hollywood generally makes movies very unbelievable, ultimately, when it comes to casting.

I was in Lourdes three days ago and although I'm not particularly religious there is something about the place that does give you a feeling of inner peace.
