Good information here.

Be sure to read the section called History. And as with all Wikipedia search results, be sure to check out all the external links and further references at the bottom of each Wikipedia page.
And there are several wonderful movies about this "The Song of Bernadette." My favorite has Jennifer Jones (I think it is) and I have a rosary with a drop of the water from the fountain!

Yes, the Miracle of Lourdes is associated with a young girl named Bernadette Soubirous. In 1858, Bernadette, then a 14-year-old girl, reported seeing a series of apparitions of the Virgin Mary in the town of Lourdes, France. The apparitions took place in a grotto near the local rock formation known as Massabielle.
During one of the apparitions, Bernadette was directed to dig a hole in the ground, where a spring of water appeared. This water is now known as the Lourdes water and is believed by many to have healing properties. Over the years, numerous individuals have claimed to have been miraculously healed after using or coming into contact with the water.
To learn more about the Miracle of Lourdes and the experiences of Bernadette, you can read books, articles, or watch documentaries about the event. There are also official websites dedicated to providing information about Lourdes and the ongoing spiritual significance attributed to it. Visiting the grotto in Lourdes is a popular pilgrimage destination for those seeking spiritual healing and inspiration.
