The month of May is the month of Mary
May is a good occasion to give thanks to the Virgin Mary. For centuries, Christians have decorated altars and statues of the Blessed Virgin as a sign of piety and devotion. Here in Lourdes, pilgrims from all over the world show their gratitude to Our Lady of Lourdes for the graces she has granted them by giving her flowers.
The Sanctuary invites you to xperience the month of Mary in Lourdes with the major celebrations of the liturgical calendar: the feast of the Ascension (9th), Pentecost (19th), the Holy Trinity (22nd) and the Visitation (31st).
