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

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
