Description Lourdes Pilgrimage: Reading the Memory of Places The Lourdes pilgrimage began in 19th-century France, inspired by the Marian apparitions witnessed by a young girl, Bernadette Soubirous, at the grotto of Massabielle. Today, in the 21st century, there are Lourdes-inspired pilgrimage sites across Japan that transcend time and space, existing as layered historical sacred landscapes modeled after the original Lourdes. These sites are found throughout the Goto Islands, Nagasaki, Amakusa, and Tokyo. This book explores these sacred places together with French missionaries who devoted their lives to the evangelization of Japan, tracing the memory embedded in each land. In recent years, these Japanese Lourdes sites have also gained attention as cultural and travel destinations. This book introduces them through a rich collection of full-color photographs.
