Torchlight processions

What is a torchlight procession?

The Marian torchlight procession is a rite of passage when you come to Lourdes. Indeed, since the Apparitions of the Virgin Mary at the Grotto of Lourdes, millions of people have responded to her invitation "Come here in procession". This is why crowds of people from all over the world pay homage to the Virgin with torches, praying to Our Lady of Lourdes in different languages.

A beautiful statue of the Virgin Mary is then carried into the esplanade of the Sanctuary of Lourdes. This is the perfect opportunity to ask Our Lady to watch over your family, your loved ones and yourself.

The torchlight processions are accompanied by lights that illuminate the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary and the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception, whose bell tower has just been completely renovated.

When to attend?

The torchlight procession takes place every day in July and August. You can attend from 9pm for one hour. The procession is conducted in international language.

Night Mass at the Grotto of Lourdes

When to attend?
