Lourdes Water is generated from a spring in the grotto of Massabielle in Lourdes and is protected by an illuminated glass plate. The water flows from the rock of Massabielle and is seen through the glass. Lourdes Holy Water: Lourdes Water is not Holy Water, however having the water blessed by a priest does mean that it then becomes Lourdes Holy Water. Lourdes Water comes from the Miraculous Spring in the Grotto
On April 24, 1858 work was carried out to build a pool to capture the miraculous water. Later water was channeled and a 450,000 liter reservoir was built below the basilicas, this now feeds many small fountains. During pilgrimage many pilgrims follow the instruction of Our Lady of Lourdes to "and wash there". The baths at Lourdes were built in 1955, today hundreds of people immerse themselves each day in the Lourdes Water, including both the sick and healthy. Lourdes Miracles
