The female names Lourdes and Bernadette are both very popular with Catholics.
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.

Yes, the body of St. Bernadette Soubirous is displayed in a glass coffin at the Convent of St. Gildard in Nevers, France, where she died in 1879. Her body was exhumed several times, and it remains remarkably well-preserved, leading many to visit and pay their respects. The display has become a significant pilgrimage site for those wishing to honor her memory and connection to the Marian apparitions at Lourdes.
Of the many qualities St. Bernadette had, the most outstanding one in my opinion was a deep and tremendous humility. How many people do all of us know (including ourselves) who could learn from that?
