The Crowned Statue |
Today, Hosanna House, the Trust's residential centre in Bartres, just outside Lourdes, takes nearly 2000 pilgrims each year. They go in groups of 40 to 50. Many of them have disabilities or special needs. These guests stay for a week between Easter and Novenber. |

The Basilica is an imposing building. It is built on and upto the rock known as Massabielle. The Basilica is actually three separate churches built at different times. When first seeing the basilica from across the River Gave, it would be easy to think the churches were built from the bottom upwards. The Crypt in the middle was actually the first built and the Rosary Basilica at the bottom was built last. |
