It's
February 11, 1858. Three girls from Lourdes, France, gather firewood in front
of a grotto. Suddenly one of them, Bernadette Soubirous, 15, drops to her
knees, gazes ectastically at something beautiful only she can see, and starts
to pray. Soon the town buzzes: has Bernadette, poor, sickly and always behind
in school, really seen a lady from heaven?
The
police chief is angry, the pastor busy and the crowd amused, but Bernadette is
calm and brave. Then a spring bubbles up from nowhere and withered arms and
sightless eyes are cured. At last, the Lady tells Bernadette her name: "I
Am The Immaculate Conception."
