Today, February 11, is the memorial of Our Lady of Lourdes.
This day commemorates the 18 apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary to Saint Bernadette Soubirous that occurred between February 11 and July 16, 1858 near the town of Lourdes in the Hautes-Pyrenees region of France. It was March 25, the feast of the Annunciation, when the Lady finally identified herself as the Immaculate Conception.
