The relics of Saint Bernadette will visit the Diocese of Cartagena

On the occasion of the closing of the Hospital Jubilee Year, which will take place on December 11 in the Cathedral of Murcia, the Murcian Hospitality of Our Lady of Lourdes has requested the Shrine of Lourdes that the ark containing the relics of Saint Bernadette be those days in the Diocese of Cartagena.

According to the president of Hospitality, Joaquín Martínez, the relics will arrive in Murcia on the same day of the closing of the Hospital Jubilee Year, from 11 to 12 they will remain in the Cathedral; on the 13th they will move to Caravaca de la Cruz; from there they will depart on the 15th towards the city of Cartagena; and on the 17th they will return to the Cathedral of Murcia. On December 18 there will be a vigil of young people in the cathedral and on the 19th they will move to the chapel of the Hospitality headquarters, from there they will depart, the next day, back to the sanctuary of Lourdes.

The uncorrupted body of Saint Bernadette is preserved in the convent of Saint Gildard of the Sisters of Charity of Nevers (where she entered as a religious) and in the Shrine of Lourdes they keep an ark with some of its relics.
