Pendant top purchased from the official shop in Lourdes, France. Front: Depicts the Virgin Mary Back: Contains water from Lourdes Length: Approximately 3cm I recently visited Lourdes, France. A friend wanted to go to Lourdes but couldn't find a tour, so I was asked to be their guide, and it was my first time there. The water of Lourdes is said to have miraculous healing properties when drunk from the spring in the grotto. These pendants, containing that water, are only available at the official shop. I hope those who cannot go to Lourdes will be pleased to have one. I have several pendants of the same design, so multiple purchases are possible. Please consider. The following is a description of Lourdes: Lourdes is a town in southwestern France, at the foot of the Pyrenees Mountains. It is known worldwide as a major Catholic pilgrimage site, with the Lourdes spring, and millions of people visit the Grotto of Massabielle every year. In 1858, it is said that the Virgin Mary appeared here to a local girl who was gathering firewood. Pilgrims can not only drink the holy water from the spring in the grotto but also take holy water baths.
