On Saturday January 8 this visit to the Sanctuary of Lourdes , located in the village of La Nou de Bergueda . There is the famous sanctuary of Lourdes is in France but is strongly related to this, since the image is inside the shrine is an image of the one at the French shrine.
We were fortunate that the Father Camil taught us the Sanctuary and its history.
The first stone of the temple was laid in 1880, but everything began to take shape a few years ago when the Mossad Anton serious illness and she was very old was virtually no means to the Shrine of Lourdes in France, was charmed by all which offered the Sanctuary of Lourdes and when she thought that because there could be no sanctuary in a small town in Bergueda for all parishioners who could not afford to go to France. Returned to make the trip, buy a image of 90 cm and made a small chapel. Unexpectedly people started coming from all around and saw the need for a sanctuary. No means no, without knowing how to begin simply with the help and the money that provided the humble sanctuary was completed in 1886 with the assistance of more than 5000 people.
Inside the church is a Gothic altarpiece with the image of Lourdes, but is the altarpiece destra just another small picture that represents the father brought Lourdes Anton, as he brought his father was lost in several occasions, one in the civil war.
Right next to the Shrine is a path leading to the grotto to a source. The source also has its history. Before the shrine was built was known as the source of San Isidro and only had a water pipe when the temple was inaugurated by the name change of the source of Lourdes, and the three days will have 3 more water pipes. Next to the sources there is a small building and now abandoned, but the Father Camil told us they want to restore that inside is where the showers that were formerly went to bathe the sick to heal.
