An alleged Lourdes miracle is being investigated – on a BBC TV programme.
Kazik Stepan, from Kent, says he was cured of an inoperable spinal condition in 1965, when he visited the Marian pilgrimage site as a teenager. He believes a medical miracle took place after he bathed in the famous waters of Lourdes.
Although many thousands of pilgrims claim to have been cured at Lourdes, the Church has only officially recognised 70 miracles.
The programme will follow the investigation by the International Medical Committee of Lourdes, a team of doctors who look into possible medical explanations for claimed miracles.
