Bernadette Soubirous, 7 January 1844 – 16 April 1879, also known as Bernadette of Lourdes. She is best known for experiencing apparitions of a "young lady" who asked for a chapel to be built at the nearby cave-grotto. These apparitions occurred between 11 February and 16 July 1858, and the young lady who appeared to her identified herself as the "Immaculate Conception".

After a canonical investigation, Soubirous's reports were eventually declared "worthy of belief" on 18 February 1862, and the Marian apparition became known as Our Lady of Lourdes. In 1866, Soubirous joined the Sisters of Charity of Nevers at their convent in Nevers where she spent the last years of her life. Her body is said by the Catholic Church to remain internally incorrupt. The grotto where the apparitions occurred later went on to become a major pilgrimage site and Marian shrine known as the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes, attracting around five million pilgrims of all denominations each year. 

St Bernadette Badge/Patch. It is religious patch that can be ironed and sew on to items. It will make a great addition to any bag-pack or clothing. I have many other religious patches/badges so you can find the one that you prefer most! Perfect for use by pilgrims on their pilgrimage.

Would recommend ironing patch to place and then sew onto the item in question to make it much stronger.
