Issued in 1958, this six-stamp set from Vatican City honors the centenary of the Lourdes Apparitions (1858–1958). The designs depict Saint Bernadette Soubirous witnessing the visions of the Virgin Mary at the Grotto of Massabielle, and scenes of the Basilica of Our Lady of Lourdes. Created by designer C. Dabrowska, each denomination showcases delicate engraving and spiritual reverence — from contemplative portraits of Bernadette to radiant Marian visions. This issue reflects the Vatican’s deep devotion to Marian miracles and their enduring place in Catholic faith. A cherished thematic entry for collectors of religious commemoratives and Vatican philately.
