Basilica C1920 Crucifix Lourdes
Lourdes - The Basilica and the Crucifix
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an evocative photograph capturing the sacred ambiance of the renowned pilgrimage site in Lourdes, France, during the 1920s. The image, taken circa the 1920s, showcases the stunning Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary, bathed in soft, ethereal light, with its intricate Gothic Revival architecture standing proud against the clear blue sky. At the heart of the image, a large crucifix, adorned with flowers and lit by flickering candles, draws the eye and adds to the profound spiritual atmosphere. The Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary, built between 1866 and 1872, is a significant historical landmark in Lourdes. It was constructed to commemorate the apparitions of the Virgin Mary to Bernadette Soubirous, a young girl from Lourdes, between 1858 and 1860. The apparitions led to the discovery of the miraculous spring, which is now a place of healing and pilgrimage for millions of people from around the world. The crucifix in the photograph is a poignant reminder of the religious significance of Lourdes and the faith of its visitors. The flowers and candles placed at its base indicate the deep devotion and reverence of those who come to seek solace, healing, and spiritual renewal. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to witness the timeless beauty and spirituality of this remarkable place. This photograph, taken in the 1920s, offers a unique glimpse into the history of Lourdes and the faith of its pilgrims during that era. It is a powerful reminder of the enduring power of faith and the spiritual journey that draws people to this sacred site, even today. The combination of the majestic Basilica and the humble crucifix creates an image that is both historically significant and deeply moving.
