Archangel Basilica Esplanade Foreground Lourdes Michael Pyrenees Rosary Sanctuary Satan Trampling Crucifiction Vanquishing


EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the iconic Statue of St. Michael the Archangel, located at the end of the Esplanade leading towards the Rosary Basilica of the Sanctuary of Our Lady in Lourdes, France. The statue, a historical masterpiece, portrays St. Michael in the act of vanquishing Satan, with the fallen angel lying beneath his feet. The serene expression on St. Michael's face contrasts starkly with the turbulence of the scene, as he crushes Satan with the power of his right foot, symbolizing the triumph of good over evil. The backdrop of the Pyrenees Mountains adds to the breathtaking beauty of the scene, while the tranquil waters of the Gave River reflect the peaceful atmosphere of the sanctuary. The statue, a popular pilgrimage site, has stood at the entrance of the Esplanade since 1874 and has become a powerful symbol of faith and devotion for millions of visitors from around the world. The history of the statue is deeply rooted in the rich cultural and religious heritage of France. According to legend, the Virgin Mary appeared to a young girl named Bernadette Soubirous in 1858, leading her to the site where the statue was later built. The statue's construction was a testament to the deep faith and commitment of the local community, who raised funds through donations and contributions from pilgrims. The statue of St. Michael the Archangel, with its powerful symbolism and historical significance, continues to draw visitors to the sanctuary in Lourdes, offering a glimpse into the deep spiritual traditions of France and the enduring power of faith.
