• ... that the Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes at the University of Notre Dame (pictured) contains two stones originally from the Grotto at which Our Lady of Lourdes is said to have appeared to Saint Bernadette?

  • Comment: If it can be arranged, I would like this to run as a special-occasion hook on the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes (February 11) or on the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God (January 1).

@Red-tailed hawk and Eccekevin: Slight problem here in that the hook actually contains more information than the article does. Would you be able to add in the article, at least one sentence explaining the significance of the original grotto and the story re: Our Lady of Lourdes and Saint Bernadette? At the moment, the article seems to assume that the reader already knows the story, or that they will click to another page to read about it. Cielquiparle (talk) 06:13, 4 February 2023 (UTC)

@Cielquiparle: I've added a mention of Saint Bernadette within the context of the original Lourdes Grotto. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 19:13, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
