.AnswerThe story of Lourdes is yet another story of the love of a Mother for her children. The Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to St. Bernadette, a young girl in Lourdes, France and told her to drink of the water. There was no water there, Bernadette dug in the ground and the spring which appeared now provides a great flow of water, at which many people, over the years, have been healed. As of now, nearly 7,000 of them have been healed physically, and many more spiritually. Bernadette entered a convent, and to this day, her body is preserved incorrupt in a glass coffin. For more information, see the links below.from the website Our Catholic Faith: In 1858, in the grotto of Massabielle, near Lourdes in southern France, Our Lady appeared 18 times to Bernadette Soubirous, a young peasant girl.She revealed herself as the Immaculate Conception, asked that a chapel be built on the site of the vision, and told the girl to drink from a fountain in the grotto.No fountain was to be seen, but when Bernadette dug at a spot designated by the apparition, a spring began to flow. The water from this still flowing spring has shown remarkable healing power, though it contains no curative property that science can identify.Lourdes has become the most famous modern shrine of Our Lady.Read the whole story of the Miracles at Lourdes and about St. Bernadette
France is a strong Catholic country. There are many places in France dedicated to the Virgin Mary. One of the most famous places of pilgrimage in the world is Lourdes, which is in the south of France. It was here that the Virgin Mary appeared to a girl, Bernadette Soubirous, in 1858. She is now a saint. In 1830 the Virgin Mary appeared to Catherine Labouré in Paris and told her to design a medal, which is now known as the Miraculous Medal and is worn by millions of people around the world.

I understand the casket was lead-lined, with a glass viewing window. This was discussed during the televised coverage of the funeral. Addition: Diana's coffin was made of oak with an inner metal liner made of lead. The liner had a glass viewing window.
no. But the mahogany casket he was buried in might have had an inner bronze liner with a glass top.
