In 1858, fourteen-year-old Bernadette Soubirous reported a series of eighteen apparitions at the Grotto of Massabielle near Lourdes. Bernadette described seeing a beautiful lady clothed in white with a blue sash and golden roses upon her feet.

During the apparitions, the lady encouraged prayer, repentance, and devotion. On one occasion, Bernadette was instructed to dig in the ground, where a spring emerged that still flows today. In a later apparition, the lady identified herself by the words:

• "I am the Immaculate Conception."
