The water of Lourdes, from the miraculous spring that gushes forth at the heart of the Lourdes sanctuary, is one of the most powerful symbols of the Christian faith and devotion to the Virgin Mary. This water, associated with the Marian apparitions to Bernadette Soubirous in 1858, is renowned for its healing, blessing and spiritual comforting properties. In our online shop, we offer you the chance to purchase this sacred water, bringing a piece of the Lourdes shrine directly to your home, wherever you are in the world.
The History of Lourdes Water
The history of Lourdes water begins with the famous apparitions of the Virgin Mary to the young Bernadette Soubirous, a humble local girl, in 1858. During the ninth apparition, on 25 February 1858, the Blessed Virgin asked Bernadette to scrape the floor of the grotto at Massabielle. By obeying this request, Bernadette caused a spring of clear, pure water to gush forth. At first, this water seemed insignificant, but soon pilgrims began to use it, and testimonies of miraculous healing multiplied.
The miraculous spring of water was then recognised by the Church as a sign of divine grace and the intercession of the Virgin Mary. Since then, millions of pilgrims have travelled to Lourdes every year to pray and bathe in the pools fed by this water, hoping to obtain physical or spiritual cures. Although the Church does not encourage the magical interpretation of this water, it nevertheless recognises the spiritual and sacred value of Lourdes water, a symbol of purification, faith and hope.

Using Lourdes Water
Lourdes water can be used in a variety of ways by the faithful, each reflecting a dimension of the Christian faith.
Prayer and Meditation: Many believers use Lourdes water to accompany their daily prayers. Pouring a few drops of water into a font or onto the hands before praying can help to create a sacred space and connect more deeply with God through the Virgin Mary. It is a constant reminder of Mary's presence in the lives of the faithful and of her benevolent intercession.
Blessing Objects and Places: Lourdes water is often used to bless religious objects such as crucifixes, statues, rosaries, or to bless a house or workplace. A few drops of water can be placed on these objects to consecrate them to God, making them instruments of faith and prayer.
Healing and Spiritual Comfort: Although the Church warns against any superstitious interpretation of Lourdes water, it is nevertheless recognised that thousands of testimonies of physical and spiritual healings are linked to the use of this water. Those suffering from illness or injury, whether physical or emotional, can use Lourdes water in a spirit of faith and hope, praying for healing or spiritual strength in the face of their trials.
Spiritual Gift: Lourdes water is often given as a spiritual gift to a loved one, particularly to support someone going through a difficult time or to encourage someone in their faith journey. Offering Lourdes water is a profound gesture that expresses a wish for blessing and healing.
