EDITORS COMMENTS
Lourdes, France: A Moment of Devotion before the Crowned Virgin Statue (La Vierge Couronnee) This evocative photograph captures a moment of deep reflection and faith as a pilgrim prays before the Crowned Virgin Statue in Lourdes, France. The statue, standing proudly across Rosary Square from the Rosary Basilica, faces the entrance, inviting visitors to pause and pay their respects. Dating back to circa 1914, the statue is a testament to the rich history and enduring significance of Lourdes as a place of pilgrimage for the Roman Catholic and Christian communities. Cast in bronze and painted in the traditional colours of white and blue, the statue is adorned with a rosary in the Birgittine style, incorporating six decades. The statue's intricate details and serene expression convey a sense of peace and tranquility, drawing the eye and the heart of the viewer. The pilgrims and devotees who gather around it come from all corners of the world, seeking solace, healing, and a deeper connection with their faith. Lourdes, a town nestled in the foothills of the Pyrenees, has been a site of pilgrimage since 1858, when the Virgin Mary is said to have appeared to a young girl named Bernadette Soubirous. The apparitions, which included 18 recorded visions, are celebrated by the Roman Catholic Church and have drawn millions of visitors over the years. This photograph offers a glimpse into the enduring power of faith and the deep connection that people have to the places that hold spiritual significance for them. It is a reminder of the importance of taking time for reflection and contemplation, no matter where we are in the world.
