1858 AD — Lourdes, France
Our Lady said: 'Go tell the priests to have a chapel built here, and to come here in procession.' Despite initial rejection by the local clergy, the chapel was eventually built and Lourdes became one of the largest pilgrimage sites in the world, with millions coming in procession every year — including the famous candlelight processions and Eucharistic processions.
