All kinds of people go to Lourdes, beginning with the desperately ill. Many, many people over the years have found healing at Lourdes, as promised by Our Blessed Lady. Many of them haven't even been religious when they went to Lourdes, some of them were just desperate enough to try anything, but they mostly come back from Lourdes profoundly changed. God always heals people at Lourdes, not necessarily physically, but healing is always found. Some people are just pilgrims or devout servants of the Blessed Virgin. Many just come to pray.

Why do Christians still visit Lourdes today?
Lourdes is the place where, in 1858, a young girl, Bernadette Soubirous, supposedly saw apparitions of the Virgin Mary. Interestingly, when pious witnesses followed Bernadette when she returned to see Mary, they saw nothing but Bernadette said that she did see the vision once again. The Catholic Church soon saw the commercial possibilities of these apparitions and aggressively marketed Lourdes as a place of pilgrimage. At first, there was no suggestion that miracle cures could be expected at Lourdes, but people of medieval and early modern times expected that wherever Mary's apparition was seen, one could expect the possibility of cures.Lourdes is now renowned for its miracle cures. It receives over 80,000 pilgrims a year, of whom approximately 7000 people in more than a century have sought to have cures confirmed as miracles. Only 68 of these have been declared as scientifically inexplicable by both the Lourdes Medical Bureau and the Catholic Church, a number so small as to suggest that these cases were likely to have been cured or gone into remission anyway. Nevertheless, Catholics and perhaps other Christians go on pilgrimage to Lourdes either to experience this holy site or in the hope of a cure.For more information, please visit: http://christianity.answers.com/catholicism/visions-of-the-virgin-mary

Why was the statue of your lady of Lourdes built?
The statue was made to try to show the lady St. Bernadette saw at the grotto in Lourdes. St. Bernadette did not actually think it was as good as the real apparition but of the many efforts made she chose it as being the closest. It is now located in the position where Our Lady appeared. People go there to the Grotto and pray there. The statue is now world famous and many copies are made.
