Lourdes, France,
May 17, 1964: Pilgrims marching in a candlelight
parade near the Rosary Church are seen in a time-exposure photo. Every year,
thousands visit the grotto marking the spot where, in 1858, young Bernadette
Soubirous said the Virgin Mary appeared to her. Miraculous cures have been
attributed to the waters at the shrine's spring.
