Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist, was not called the Virgin Mary. The title "Virgin Mary" is traditionally given to Mary, the mother of Jesus, to signify her perpetual virginity and her role as the mother of God. Elizabeth was referred to as a righteous and favored woman who conceived John in her old age according to the biblical account.

Without more context, it is difficult to say how Sarah's story is related to the Virgin Mary. However, if Sarah's story involves themes of motherhood, faith, or divine intervention, it could potentially be connected to the Virgin Mary's story in Christianity. It is important to note that without further information, any connection between the two is speculative.

The prophet Isaiah did not specifically mention the Blessed Virgin Mary by name, but he prophesied about the coming of a Messiah who would be born of a virgin. In Isaiah 7:14, he wrote, "Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel." This prophetic announcement is often understood to be a foreshadowing of the birth of Jesus, which was fulfilled through Mary.

The four dogmas of the Blessed Virgin Mary are the Immaculate Conception, the Perpetual Virginity, the Divine Motherhood, and the Assumption. The Immaculate Conception refers to Mary's conception free from original sin. The Perpetual Virginity affirms that Mary remained a virgin before, during, and after the birth of Jesus. The Divine Motherhood declares that Mary is the mother of Jesus, who is both fully human and fully divine. The Assumption teaches that Mary was assumed into Heaven, body and soul, at the end of her earthly life.

The adoration of the Virgin Mary persists because she is venerated as a central figure in Christianity, symbolizing humility, purity, and maternal love. While Jesus did caution against excessive admiration for his mother in the specific context of his interaction, this does not diminish her importance in Christian theology and devotion. The adoration of the Virgin Mary is rooted in tradition and has been shaped by centuries of cultural, religious, and theological developments.

Catholic AnswerOur Blessed Lady appeared at Fatima in 1917 to three peasant children, and confided to them a series of secrets. Her appearance was attested to by a spectacular miracle of the sun which was witnessed by thousands of people and reported in many newspapers at that time. Our Blessed Lady requested the children to have a procession in honor of her Immaculate Conception (words that the children had never heard at that time, and did not understand), and asked the faithful of the world to do penance and pray the Rosary to end the war and to avoid World War II. All of the subsequent Popes have supported this apparition of Our Blessed Lady strongly. See the link below:Asked by Wiki User

France is a strong Catholic country. There are many places in France dedicated to the Virgin Mary. One of the most famous places of pilgrimage in the world is Lourdes, which is in the south of France. It was here that the Virgin Mary appeared to a girl, Bernadette Soubirous, in 1858. She is now a saint.
In 1830 the Virgin Mary appeared to Catherine Labouré in Paris and told her to design a medal, which is now known as the Miraculous Medal and is worn by millions of people around the world. Catherine Labouréis now a saint too. Many people go to the place in Paris where the apparitions occurred and where you can see St. Catherine Labouré's body in a glass coffin.
France has other links to the Virgin Mary, so that is why they celebrate the Virgin Mary in France.

In 1858 the Virgin Mary appeared to Bernadette Soubirous in Lourdes, France. Bernadette was instructed to dig, a stream of water miraculously appeared, and is claimed to have healing powers. Many of the sick come from around to world in hopes of having incurable ailments cured. Many cures are documented, there is a hospital there.
For more in formation:
Go to you tube and type in "Lourdes: Miracle City - France" for some really good information. I'm using it for my assessment :)
In 1858 a girl called Bernadette Soubirous saw Our Lady 18 times. She is now known as Saint Bernadette. Since that time millions of people have come to visit the site at which the apparitions happened. See the related link below to another question for some more information.
Lourdes is a place of pilgrimage today because of Saint Bernadette seeing and speaking to the Virgin Mary there. Many religious experiences have taken place there and people have said to be cured by the water at Lourdes. This is a special place for Catholics.
Lourdes soon became a place for pilgrimage for many Catholics in the surrounding areas both for prayer and for healing in the waters.
Nowadays, Lourdes is a town that is much larger. I visited Lourdes a couple of years ago partly as a holidaymaker and partly as a pilgrim, despite not being a Catholic (but still a Christian). However, nowadays Christians of all denominations descend on the town to make a pilgrimage to the grotto.
The town, however, is quite horrid. Every other shop is a souvenir shop devoted to cheap plastic effigies of the Virgin Mary or other tourist tat. It is reminiscent of the traders in the Temple that Jesus drove out. However, if you can get past all this commercialism, the area surrounding the Basilica and the grotto is very different.
Immediately one feels in a special place, where commercialism is left behind and instead prayer and worship happen round the clock, and where there is a real feel of God's presence and peace. Whatever the origins of the apparition of Mary the place is still very special and worthy of its place as one of the great centres for pilgrimage.
As for the healing properties of the water, thousands go there every year, and, whilst not all are cured physically, invariably spiritual healing takes place. However, despite the lack of a high percentage of cures, there are many hundreds each year whose recoveries cannot be explained by normal medical science.

Luke 2:36-38 - Now there was one, Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was of a great age, and had lived with a husband seven years from her virginity; and this woman was a widow of about eighty-four years, who did not depart from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day. And coming in that instant she gave thanks to the Lord, and spoke of Him to all those who looked for redemption in Jerusalem. [NKJV]
