Lourdes Shrine Of Miracles

Lourdes has been called a city of miracles, a place where the blind come to see, the deaf to hear, the lame to walk. For over 150 years, pilgrims have been making the journey to this small French mountain village where a young girl allegedly saw a vision of the Virgin Mary - a vision that led to the discovery of miraculous healing waters. Scientists, scholars and the Catholic Church remain divided over the answer to the question that brings thousands to Lourdes every year - can the waters of Lourdes actually bring miracles?
