Do you believe in the apparitions at Lourdes?
Lourdes is the place where, in 1858, a young girl, Bernadette Soubirous, supposedly saw apparitions of the Virgin Mary in a grotto. Even her little friend who was with Bernadette on the first occasion, saw nothing. Although she was sometimes accompanied by others when she again saw these apparitions, only Bernadette was able to see the visions she described.Bernadette called the young woman in her visions aquero - "that one" - and it was only when others told her she had seen the Virgin Mary that Bernadette realised that she had indeed done so. The lack of any corroboration by other witnesses saw the local clergy ridicule her claims but then, as pilgrims began to arrive, they accepted them as true. The Catholic Church soon saw the commercial possibilities of these apparitions and aggressively marketed Lourdes as a place of pilgrimage. In these circumstances, no I do not believe in the supposed apparitions at Lourdes.For more information, please visit: http://christianity.answers.com/catholicism/visions-of-the-virgin-mary

How many apparitions of Lady of Lourdes have there been?
As a young girl in 1858, Bernadette Soubirous supposedly saw eighteen separate apparitions of the Virgin Mary in a grotto near Lourdes. Bernadette's little friend who was with her on the first occasion, saw nothing. Although she was sometimes accompanied by others when she again saw these apparitions, only Bernadette was able to see the visions she described. Bernadette called the young woman in her visions aquero - "that one" - and it was only when others told her she had seen the Virgin Mary, Our Lady of Lourdes, that Bernadette realised that she had indeed done so. The lack of any corroboration by other witnesses saw the local clergy ridicule her claims but then, as pilgrims began to arrive, they accepted them as true.For more information, please visit: http://christianity.answers.com/catholicism/visions-of-the-virgin-mary
How many people have been cured in the grotto in Lourdes?
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 from the water.

In Lourdes where is Bernadette's body kept?
St. Bernadette's body is not in Lourdes. It is in the town of Nevers in France, over 400 miles from Lourdes. This is because she went there to live in a convent and died there. Her body is actually on view in a glass case for anyone to see. See the link below:
