Police: estimated the crowd at 150,000. IMPORTANT HOLIDAY - Roman Catholic dogma teaches that Mary-was born by ‘immaculate conception, or without sin, and was bodily aasumed into Heaven. Aug. 15 is the feast day celebrating the assumption — one of the biggest holidays in Europe, with virtually all shops and offices closed for the day. - Lourdes is particularly linked to the dogma of im- maculate conception because a 14-year-old local girk named Bernadette Soubirous sald the Virgin Mary appeared to her in 1858 and said: “! am the Immaculate Conception.” That was only four years after Pope Plus IX first promulgated the dagmaof the Immaculate Conception. The town has since become one of the most popular honoring the ' Virgin Mary, drawing thousands of ill and dying people — , ~ searching for miraculous cures ‘from the shrine’s springs. Earlier today, the pontiff held meetings with priests and nuns. at. the Rosary Basilica and then proceeded by motorcade in his while popemobile to the crowded meadow. : The Pope had planned to visit Lourdes two years ago, but the trip was cancelled after he was seriously wounded in an - assassination attempt in St. Peter's Square on May 13, 1961. On the first day of his 30-hour stopover, John Paul called for prayers for victims of violence, but made no mention of the bombing and isolated antl: ‘religious attacks . that preceded his visit. Security was strengthened ‘after an anti-clerical group. which calls itself Stop the Priests bombed a statue of ‘ Pontius Pilate at the shrine Friday and a fire was set at a Roman Catholic newspaper at nearby.
