Marie-Bernarde Soubirous was a miller’s daughter born in Lourdes, France. She was said to have had witnessed the virgin Mary appearing to her, which resulted in her becoming a saint and Lourdes becoming a sacred place. According to the story, when Bernadette, who could not read or write and who barely passed her religious education classes, asked the lady her name, she responded, “I am the Immaculate Conception.” The faithful believed her to be the Virgin Mary, and she is said to have appeared to Bernadette 18 times.

Saint Bernadette was canonized in 1933, as patron of the sick, and Lourdes emerged as one of the premier pilgrimage sites in the world.

The conversation between Juliet and her mother is stilted and proper, whereas the Nurse is very open with her opinions, advice, and feelings with Juliet.
