‘Lourdes in Noordwijk’

‘Lourdes in Noordwijk’
Achter het oude gebouw lag een grote tuin, waar men onverwacht stuitte op een grote replica van de Lourdesgrot, waar de verschijning van de Heilige Maagd Maria nog eens duidelijk in beeld werd gebracht. Dit was zeker handig voor degenen, die graag naar Lourdes wilden gaan, maar daarvoor niet het nodige geld en de gelegenheid hadden. Dan ging men naar de Lourdesgrot in Noordwijk. Deze grot werd aangelegd tijdens de eerste wereldoorlog, toen er een grote groep Belgische vluchtelingen in het St. Jeroensgesticht verbleef. Ook tijdens Heilig Hartfeesten trokken er vele stoeten met bruidjes langs deze grot.

Image & text source: Union or Secession: Virginians Decide

What were Virginians thinking and discussing as the first Southern states withdrew from the United States following the election of Abraham Lincoln in November 1860? Why was Virginia’s decision critical to America’s fate in 1861 and key to the ultimate course and outcome of the sectional crisis?

Virginia was central to American identity for its role in the founding of the United States and its political principles. Both the Confederacy and the Union wanted to claim Virginia’s historical legacy. Union or Secession explores what Virginians thought and debated as the crisis unfolded.
