Medjugorje Tours

On June 24th, 1981, in a parish of the Medjugorje village Bijakovici in the country still under the communist regime, Our Lady, Virgin Mary, appeared to six children.
Such an apparition was unknown to the Christians of this southeast part of Europe. Croatians are always incredibly devoted to the Mother of God, "Queen of Croats," as they sing to her in one of the songs.

On that afternoon of St. John The Baptist's feast day at about six o'clock in the evening, on the hill known as Podbrdo, six children saw a young woman with a little child in her arms. The children in question, the sole witnesses of this most divine sight, were Ivanka Ivankovic, Mirjana Dragicevic, Vicka Ivankovic, Ivan Dragicevic, Ivan Ivankovic, and Milka Pavlovic.
The young woman said nothing to them but said with gestures that they should come closer. Surprised and frightened, they were afraid to go near, even though they immediately thought her to be Our Lady.
The following day, on June 25th, the six children, hoping to see Our Lady again, met up at the same place where she had appeared to them the day before. Missing amongst the six from the previous day were Ivan Ivankovic and Milka Pavlovic, who replaced Maria Pavlovic and Jakov Colo. With a flash of light, Our Lady appeared again and beckoned the children with her arms, to which they responded by falling to their knees and praying. After the prayers, Our Lady spoke to the children and finally withdrew with the words: "God be with you, my angels!"

Ever since, Medjugorje has become one of the most popular Catholic pilgrimage sites in the world where pilgrims come to pray, attend Mass, confess, visit the site of the apparitions, climb the Cross Mountian...

The messages delivered through the visionaries often emphasize the importance of confession, conversion, and leading a life of faith. Pilgrims use their time in Medjugorje for spiritual introspection and reconciliation.

The messages conveyed during the apparitions emphasize peace, faith, prayer, fasting, and conversion. The Virgin Mary, according to the visionaries, calls for reconciliation with God and among people, this is the theme of Her first message in Medjugorje!

June 26, 1981
"Peace, peace, peace and only peace. Peace must reign between man and God and among all people!”

It's important to say that Medjugorje has drawn millions of pilgrims and has had a profound impact on their spiritual lives and the life of today's Catholic Church!
