In Lourdes, 'poverty' at the heart of the Assumption pilgrimage Among the crowd of pilgrims present at Lourdes feast of the Assumption, 325 this year are part of the "Pélé Mosaïque", a structure that, for 11 years, has allowed people in precarious circumstances to participate in the greatest pilgrimage of French Catholicism. In the city of Saint-Pierre, they can stay free of charge or by "leaving what they can". Some participants help in their own way, by accompanying sick or disabled people every day.
