Bernadette Soubirous herself said, \u201cWe take the water like medicine... We must have faith, we must pray: this water will have no virtue without faith!\u201d The popularity of Lourdes water is born of miracles, but it is not holy water: water from the Spring can only become holy through the action of a priest.\n \n<\/BR>\n<\/BR>\nMany pilgrims are keen to take some back home, for themselves or for their loved ones. Lourdes water is free and free to access from the Sanctuary\u2019s taps and Drinking Fountains.
