Lourdes grotto

A Lourdes grotto is a replica of the original grotto at Lourdes, France (a Catholic religious site reputed to have healing properties) or a grotto honouring Our Lady of Lourdes unassociated with the Lourdes site. Some such grottoes are called simply "Lourdes grottoes"; others are described as replicas, or as honouring Our Lady of Lourdes.
