Lourdes was a very different place on Monday 11th February 2008 to the town it had been on the same day in 1858. On the Prairie opposite the Grotto, where Our Lady appeared for the first time to Bernadette, about 70,000 people descended for Mass. Over 800 priests and 25 bishops attended the Mass with pilgrims from all over the world. The day was cold, as you would expect for February, but the sun shone and people were just happy to be there.
