1858, Lourdes, France: At the Grotto of Massabielle, the Virgin showed herself 18 times to Bernadette Soubirous, 14, under the title the "Immaculate Conception. What Harris convinced me of is that the central figures she treats-from the naive and illiterate, but appealing and quite stubborn Bernadette Soubirous, to her parish priest, the good Abbe Peryramale, to the Catholic physicians who honestly and fairly ran the Medical Bureau at Lourdes, to, well, perhaps to the Blessed Virgin herself-are all interesting, unusual, and worthy dramatis personae who bespeak individuality and depth, who break through the molds in which they are invariably cast. The renowned religious tour operator combines the important shrines of Lourdes (in southwestern France) where the Virgin Mary appeared to young Bernadette Soubirous in 1858, and Fatima (northeast of Lisbon) where the blessed Virgin appeared to three Portuguese children in 1917. |
