Who was Saint Bernadette of Lourdes?

The image is a grayscale portrait of Saint Bernadette Soubirous, known for her humility and piety. She is depicted in a contemplative state, her head bowed in a modest pose that reflects her inner devotion. Bernadette's life was marked by simplicity and profound spiritual experiences, most notably the Marian apparitions of Lourdes. Born on January 7, 1844, in Lourdes, France, Bernadette was the eldest of nine children in a poor miller's family. At the age of 14, she experienced the first of 18 visions of the Virgin Mary, who identified herself as the Immaculate Conception. These visions led to the establishment of Lourdes as a pilgrimage site for millions seeking healing and comfort. Despite her significant role in these events, Bernadette chose a life of seclusion as a member of the Sisters of Charity, where she served humbly until her death at the age of 35. Her unwavering faith and the miracles reported at Lourdes made her one of the most venerated saints in the Roman Catholic Church.
