What is an unusual fact about Lourdes?

Answer 1

A:The vision described herself as "the Immaculate Conception" a term which describes the doctrine just pronounced as revealed dogma by the Vatican, a term that Bernadette had never heard, nor did she understand.

Answer 2

Lourdes is the place where, in 1858, a young girl, Bernadette Soubirous, supposedly saw apparitions of the Virgin Mary in a grotto. One unusual fact about this is that when people accompanied Bernadette to the grotto, they could never experience the vision that she described to them, yet it was accepted by the Church that these visions were indeed real. Another unusual fact is that Bernadette did not know she had seen the Blessed Virgin Mary until told by those adults around her.
