On the cold morning of February 11, 1858, there was no wood in the Soubirous home, and no fire to warm them. Bernadette set out with her younger sister Toinette, and a neighbor girl, Jean Abadie, to scrounge in the forest for kindling. Maybe they would get lucky and find a rag or a bone to sell....
... I am so sorry, but this post has been moved to my new website, The Pagan Calendar, and can be found in its entirety here: Feast Day of St Bernadette
Marvellous, thought provoking article. For a long time, I too have been convinced Bernadette is not what who / the catholic church portray her as.
