Our Lady of Lourdes Description: A beautifully rendered English cast stone statue of Our Lady of Lourdes. In 1858, Bernadette Soubirous a young peasant girl from Lourdes France (later St. Bernadette), had a vision of a petite and peaceful Madonna who appeared to Bernadette in a local grotto while Bernadette was collecing firewood. The veracity of her vision gradually gained acceptance with the church which in 1863 commissioned the sculptor Joseph-Hugues Fabisch of Lyon to create a statue for the shrine established in grotto. The story ultimately became the basis for the 1943 movie the Song of Bernadette. Measurements: Height: 55” Price: SOLD Phone: 312-738-9747 E-mail: finnegangallery@sbcglobal.net
