Bernadette's credibility was increased when her "lady" instructed her to dig in the ground with her hands which would result in the discovery of an underground spring.
Bernadette was holding a lighted candle; during the vision it burned down, and the flame was said to be in direct contact with her skin for over 15 minutes but she supposedly showed no sign of experiencing any pain or injury.
Bernadette's canonization in 1933 was the culmination of a process which had been started nearly three-quarters of a century earlier: she is, therefore, a saint of modern times, and the remarkable facts of her life are readily accessible to all.
Bernadette was never strong, and from the age of six she showed symptoms of the respiratory ailment that later became a chronic affliction.
Bernadette, staring in fascination, saw that the luminous apparition was dressed in a soft white robe, with a broad girdle of blue, and a long white veil that partially covered her hair.
