This year, we are celebrating 100 years since the first Liverpool to Lourdes pilgrimage.

In anticipation to this year's event, we are taking a trip down memory lane and unlocking some of those memories over the last century.

This time, we look at the 1930s - a decade that saw the rise of Nazism, and the Great Depression, but also saw other things like the first high-definition broadcast done by the BBC (back then it was described as at least 200 lines), and the first frozen foods from Birds Eye were sold.

On our pilgrimages, we were sent the story of Shelia Keely - whose great-grandmother had been given a cross blessed in Lourdes by Jack Traynor.

She said: "On one of the occasions after visiting Lourdes, he brought my dad’s grandmother, Ellen Colmon, a crucifix home which had been blessed in Lourdes. They were very good friends. Jack lived in Grafton Street and Ellen lived in Mann Street. In 1935 her grandson James McNulty married Agnes Larkin (my mum and dad).

"Ellen gifted them the crucifix as a wedding present. They kept the crucifix over their bed until 2009 when sadly my mum Agnes passed away. The crucifix is now in my sister’s house (Teresa Griffiths)above her bed.

"Teresa and my mum (Agnes) visited Lourdes on 35 occasions in total together, her first time to take her down syndrome child Kevin, to introduce him to her and my mother’s wonderful spiritual way of life that they had always been a part of us.

"The crucifix is truly sentimental to all the family and this year myself and my sister Teresa pray to stay well enough to make the pilgrimage together.

"Teresa is 88 years young and I am 74 years young and love to visit yearly where possible.”
