Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic 8" Plush Doll

Our Lady of Lourdes On February 11, 1858, the Virgin Mary appeared to fourteen-year-old Bernadette Soubirous in a grotto near Lourdes, France. Over eighteen apparitions, Mary identified herself as “the Immaculate Conception” and instructed Bernadette to dig in the ground, revealing a spring. The waters of Lourdes have since been associated with thousands of healings, and millions of pilgrims visit annually seeking physical and spiritual renewal. Bernadette later became a nun and was canonized in 1933. Our Lady of Lourdes reminds us of the power of faith, humility, and healing. Feast Day: February 11 | Patroness of the Sick Read more about Our Lady of Lourdes, the healing spring of Bernadette, and why families turn to her for the sick → WHAT MAKES HER SPECIAL This statue is hand-designed by Little Drops of Water and hand-painted in fine resin. She is shown as Bernadette saw her in the grotto — in a white robe and blue sash, veiled, with a golden rose at each foot and hands joined in prayer. Sized to fit on a nightstand, a bookshelf, a desk at work, or the quiet corner of a home altar. Every Miniature Saint Statue from Little Drops of Water is finished by hand, which means each piece carries small variations in shading and brushwork — the mark of real craftsmanship, not mass production. A REFLECTION At Lourdes, Our Lady drew a healing spring from the ground and asked only for prayer and trust. Among the millions who go to her are the sick, the small, and the frightened. To keep her near brings that comfort home — a gentle reminder, for anyone who is unwell or afraid, that their heavenly Mother is near and listening.
