Saint Bernadette had the first of several visions of the Virgin Mary in a grotto at Lourdes on February 11, 1858. A few days after the ninth visitation, a spring began to flow from a patch dug by Bernadette. An old stone mason with a blind eye bathed it in the spring's water and as others also followed her example it was soon reported to have healing properties. The grotto soon became a center of pilgrimage. Many sick people who were dipped in the water of the spring were cured.
