Commencement Of An Important Tradition
During one of these visits to the grotto, the figure is claimed to have urged Bernadette to relieve her thirst and clean herself in the water from a spring, which she complied with. Spring, on the other hand, was nowhere to be found. A gushing brook was discovered by Bernadette, according to folklore, as she dug into the soil. Afterward, the young woman drank from the spring, marking the beginning of a ritual that would eventually establish Lourdes as one of the world’s most prominent Catholic pilgrimage sites.

Producing Gallons Of Water
According to legend, a spring that Bernadette is supposed to have discovered quickly began to generate hundreds of liters of water each day. And it has done so despite the fact that there has been little precipitation. The spring has been channeled into a reservoir, which today serves as a water source for pilgrims to bathe in and drink from, precisely as Bernadette is claimed to have done hundreds of years ago.
