Church Visiting and Candle Light procession


There are many churches here but this one is my favourite. It I a beautiful church and creates, what I think is a closer connection to God, Jesus and Mary. The Golden crown with the cross upon it is a beautiful significant piece of the church.


I believe this pilgrimage is extremely important because it gives people something to believe in. This has enhanced my belief in Christianity as I have seen the truth for myself. I have seen what Mary can do for us. And I can also see her presence in Lourdes. This is an amazing place to be.  There is the Candle light procession where my belief grew extensively. With all the people around me, taking of Our Lady of Lourdes. It’s amazing the amount of faith there is. The candle light procession is held every night from March to November yet there are so many people here tonight. Hearing all of the languages spoken here today, while praying and the rosary soon after. Connecting with many other pilgrims and people from all around the world. The singing and what seems to look like an ocean of light with everyone holding the candles up. The singing swamping around you. This is a once in a lifetime experience.
