About this Episode

St. Bernadette Soubirous didn't want her feet to get wet. That's why she sat down to take off her socks and shoes and then first encountered the Blessed Virgin Mary at what is now one of the most visited pilgrimage sites in the world, Lourdes. A simple girl, with little education, Our Lady chose to speak to her. Not unlike a simple man, Juan Diego, who Our Lady appeared to in Mexico a few hundred years before. Maybe these two saints are friends in heaven...
