On February 11, 1858, a radiant lady appeared to her, sparking a series of breathtaking visions.<br \/>\nOn March 25, the lady revealed her identity with words that echoed heaven&#8217;s promise: \u201cI am the Immaculate Conception.\u201d Through this simple girl, Mary ignited\u2014and still ignites\u2014the faith of millions worldwide. Pilgrims poured in from France and beyond, drawn to the grotto&#8217;s healing springs.<br \/>\nIn 1862, Church authorities confirmed the apparitions&#8217; authenticity, blessing the cult of Our Lady of Lourdes. By 1907, her feast became a global celebration of hope and grace!<br \/>\nLet\u2019s honor Our Lady today\u2014may her message renew our hearts. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7467,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[153],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7582","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-institutional"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pczc.edu.ph\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7582","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pczc.edu.ph\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pczc.edu.ph\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pczc.edu.ph\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pczc.edu.ph\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7582"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/pczc.edu.ph\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7582\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7584,"href":"https:\/\/pczc.edu.ph\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7582\/revisions\/7584"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pczc.edu.ph\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/7467"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pczc.edu.ph\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7582"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pczc.edu.ph\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7582"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pczc.edu.ph\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7582"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
