The visionary&#8217;s description allayed his fears, and even enthused him. He created a model and submitted a photograph of it to Bernadette. However, Bernadette criticised this first attempt.<em><strong> \u201cThe figure doesn&#8217;t look young enough, nor does it smile enough wrote Abb\u00e9 Peyramale. On the right side, the veil clings to the head and neck, creating a curve from the head to the shoulder. On the left, it does not cover the shoulder, and then on both sides, it folds under the arms. According to Bernadette, the veil descended perpendicularly, covering both shoulders and the elbows. The dress is too low (&#8230;): the lower part of the neck is too exposed. The hands were more clasped, the fingers pressed together; the left foot seems a little too far forward (&#8230;). The rosary has been omitted.\u201d<\/strong><\/em> Fabisch corrected it as best he could.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">On 31st March 1864, the statue arrived at the presbytery in Lourdes. Bernadette was summoned In the presence of Abb\u00e9 Peyramale and Father Ollivier, the Carrara marble was extracted from its straw-filled box. The young girl tried to nod, as if out of politeness. But she pulled herself together and said emphatically,<em><strong> \u201cNo, that&#8217;s not right!\u201d<\/strong> <\/em>She added later,<em><strong> \u201cAnyway, you can&#8217;t recreate her the way she was.\u201d<\/strong><\/em> Marble will aways be just marble.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9181fdb\" data-id=\"9181fdb\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-15dd231 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"15dd231\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1536\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lourdes-france.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/LaViergedelaGrotte1-1536x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-1536x1536 size-1536x1536 wp-image-821612\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lourdes-france.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/LaViergedelaGrotte1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.lourdes-france.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/LaViergedelaGrotte1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lourdes-france.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/LaViergedelaGrotte1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lourdes-france.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/LaViergedelaGrotte1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lourdes-france.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/LaViergedelaGrotte1.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-42e4b17b elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"42e4b17b\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3b96e332\" data-id=\"3b96e332\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a7337fc elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a7337fc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Own your own authentic and official statue of Our Lady of Lourdes<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2a43513c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2a43513c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span lang=\"en-GB\">The Sanctuary of Lourdes is offering you the chance to own an identical replica of the statue of Our Lady of Lourdes in the Grotto of the Apparitions.
