How is Lourdes holy?
Starting on February 11, 1858, Bernadette Soubirous, a sickly 14 year old girl, experienced a series of 18 apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary at a grotto near Lourdes, France. It took many years for the Church to confirm the visions as genuine and Bernadette underwent much torment and discomfort because of her claims of a Heavenly visitor. Today Lourdes is the destination of many pilgrims from around the world who come to pray at the shrine and partake of the miraculous water at the spring that was uncovered by Bernadette. Lourdes is holy because Our Lady made it holy by her visits. For more information about Lourdes and St. Bernadette click on the link below.

What is a visit to a shrine of Mary called?
Visiting shrines in honor of Mary is called a Marian pilgrimage. Devotees usually do this in thanksgiving, asking for special intercessions such as healing (like in the shrine of the miraculous Our Lady of Lourdes in France) or as a reaffirmation of their faith. For Catholics, it is one way of drawing closer to her Son, Jesus ("To Jesus through Mary").
What is the religion in Lourdes?
Lourdes is a small, pretty town in the south of France which is the site of a Christian shrine where a young girl called Bernadette claimed to have a vision of the Virgin Mary. France is predominantly Roman Catholic country. Therefore, as far as the religion is concerned, Lourdes is a Christian site. However, as far as denomination is concerned (i.e. the branch of the Christian Church with which it is associated), most visitors to Lourdes tend to be Roman Catholics. However, as a non-Catholic (I am a member of the Church of England) when I visited Lourdes myself a couple of years ago I found that there were many denominations represented their as well as Roman Catholics including Anglicans (like myself) Methodists, Baptists, Presbyterians, and so on - and even non-believers who nevertheless wanted to experience the almost tangible spirituality of this special place.
How did Lourdes become such a special Christian shrine?
Many Catholic shrines are associated with alleged apparitions of the virgin Mary. When a location becomes known for having been visited by the Holy Mother, it becomes a place of pilgrimage and donations to the local church quickly allow for the construction of impressive shrines and for the betterment of the church and its community.During the nineteenth century, it was said that Mary appeared at Lourdes not once but several times. Pope Pius IX authorised the local bishop to permit the veneration of the Virgin Mary in Lourdes in 1862. Our Lady of Lourdes also said that pilgrims should drink and wash in water from a local spring. The truth of the apparitions of Lourdes is not an article of faith for Catholics.For more information, please visit: http://christianity.answers.com/catholicism/visions-of-the-virgin-mary
