Celebrating the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Vision of Bernadette at Lourdes: A Commemorative Postcard from 1908 This beautiful postcard, dating back to 1908, marks the 50th anniversary of the vision of the Virgin Mary that appeared to Marie Bernarde Bernadette Soubirous at Lourdes in 1858. The vision, which took place in a grotto near the town, is one of the most famous and well-documented Marian apparitions in history. At the center of the postcard, we find a panoramic view of the Basilica of Our Lady of Lourdes, a magnificent architectural masterpiece that has drawn millions of pilgrims from around the world over the past century and a half. The basilica, with its iconic bell tower and intricate facade, stands as a testament to the enduring faith of the people of Lourdes and beyond. Surrounding the image of the basilica are portraits of key figures associated with the vision and its aftermath. To the left, we see Pope Pius IX, who was the reigning Pope at the time of the apparitions and who recognized the authenticity of the vision in 1862. To the right, we find Francois-Xavier Schoepfer, the Bishop of Tarbes at the time of the vision, and Abbe Dominique Peyramale, the priest who first interviewed Bernadette and helped spread the word about the apparitions. This postcard serves as a poignant reminder of the profound impact that Bernadette's vision had on the world and the enduring faith of the people of Lourdes and beyond. It is a testament to the power of faith and the enduring allure of the miraculous that continues to draw pilgrims to Lourdes to this day.
