Many Catholic shrines are associated with alleged apparitions of the virgin Mary. Bernadette Soubirous, a 14-year-old peasant girl, told her mother that she had seen a 'lady' in the cave of Massabielle, about a mile from Lourdes, while she was gathering firewood with her sister and a friend. Similar appearances of the lady were reported on seventeen further occasions that year, and many Christians believe the sightings to have been of the virgin Mary.
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
