The Massabielle
In February 1858 Bernadette was out gathering kindling with her kin Toinette and a mate called Jeanne. It’s said that the young ladies were investigating a little cavern – known as Massabielle, signifying “old stone” – at the base of a slope in Lourdes. Dairy cattle were known to take shelter inside the cavern, and before it ran a stream.

Fear Of Getting Cold
The story goes that Toinette and Jeanne crossed the stream away from the cave and proceeded on their way. Bernadette, be that as it may, was clearly hesitant to do likewise because of a paranoid fear of getting cold, so she scanned for a dryer course. Also, at long last, the teenaged young lady apparently concluded that she’d have to remove her shoes and stockings so as to cross the water.
