Sanctuary Our Lady of Lourdes

The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes in France is one of the world's most famous Catholic pilgrimage sites, located in the town of Lourdes at the foothills of the Pyrenees. It was founded after 14-year-old Bernadette Soubirous reported 18 apparitions of the Virgin Mary in 1858 at the Grotto of Massabielle. The sanctuary covers over 50 hectares and includes three main basilicas, several chapels, the grotto itself, and the underground Basilica of Saint Pius X that can hold thousands of people. Millions of pilgrims visit each year to pray, attend processions, and use the spring water that appeared during the apparitions and is believed to have healing properties. The Lourdes Medical Bureau investigates claims of miraculous cures that occur after contact with the water or through prayer. Every evening, the sanctuary hosts a candlelight procession where thousands of pilgrims sing and carry candles through the esplanade. Lourdes remains a place of deep faith, hope, and healing that unites people from around the world.

The webcam set at the entrance of the Grotto of Massabielle in Lourdes gives a close and spiritual view of the heart of the Sanctuary. It has sound, allowing viewers to listen to the prayers, hymns, and services that take place throughout the day, creating the feeling of being present at this sacred spot. Through the live stream, people can see pilgrims arriving from around the world to touch the rock, light candles, or pray silently before the grotto. The camera often captures masses, rosary recitations, and special ceremonies held in front of the spring where the Virgin Mary appeared to Bernadette Soubirous. This moving live view connects those watching from afar to the peace, devotion, and faith that fill the Grotto of Massabielle every day.
