On my last day at the Lourdes, I went back to visit the statue of the Virgin Mary and say one last prayer before lighting a candle and placing it in front of the statue.There were springs near the Grotto that Saint Bernadette found, where people can drink the water, although it isn't actual Holy water since it wasn't blessed by a priest it still felt pretty special.
This pilgrimage has opened my eyes and brought my closer to God. Lourdes being a pilgrimage place strengthens Catholic faith as you have once in a life time experiences especially the candlelit procession and climbing the Holy Stairs while kneeing as a representation of what Jesus suffered before he was crucified on the cross.
Some of the experiences here at Lourdes brings many Christians closer to God and the Catholic Faith due to how religious this site is and how many things you learn about one place and how one vision changed a whole families life.
That's all for my experience here at the Lourdes in France.
