Međugorje is a village in the Herzegovina
municipality of Čitluk, today part of the Herzegovina-Neretva Canton of the
Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. It has become famous because of a series
of alleged sightings of the Virgin Mary by six young people. It should be
noted, however, that the Catholic church has not approved these apparitions. The First Day On June 24th, 1981, at about 6 pm, six young people - Ivanka Ivanković, Mirjana Dragićević, Vicka Ivanković, Ivan Dragićević, Jakov Čolo and Marija Pavlović - allegedly saw on the hill called Crnica, several hundred meters above the place called Podbrdo, a young woman with a child in her arms who gave them a sign with her hand to come nearer. Surprised and scared, they did not approach her. |

The Second Day On the 25th of June 1981, the children agreed to meet once again at the same place that Our Lady had previously appeared in the hope of seeing her again. All of a sudden there was a flash of light. The children looked up and saw Our Lady, this time without the child. She was smiling and joyful and was indescribably beautiful. With her hands she gestured to them to come closer. The children braced themselves and went up to her. They immediately fell to their knees and began to pray the "Our Father," Hail Mary" and "Gloria Patri". Our Lady prayed together with them except for when they prayed the "Hail Mary". After the prayer she began to speak with the children. Ivanka, first of all, asked her about her mother who had died two months previously. And Mirjana asked Our Lady for some sign to be given to show to the people that they were neither lying nor crazy, as some people had said. |

Our Lady finally left the children with the
words,” God be with you, my angels!" Before that, when the children
asked her if they would see her the following day, she replied by nodding
her head. According to the visionaries, the whole encounter was indescribable. On that day two of the children, which made up the previous group were missing: Ivan Ivanković and Milka Pavlović. They were replaced by two others: Marija Pavlović and Jakov Čolo. And from that day onward according to these six children, Our Lady regularly appears to them. Milka Pavlović and Ivan Ivanković, who were present on the first day of apparitions, did not see Our Lady again, even though they returned to the apparition site, in the hope of seeing her. The Ten Secrets Each of the six visionaries has said that they have received, or are in the process of receiving ten secrets each from the Virgin Mary. Some of these secrets are the same across all of the visionaries. Others are personal secrets for particular visionaries. At least ten of these secrets are for the world. Before the first secret, a priest chosen by one of the visionaries will reveal the date and event to the world. Despite being called secrets, some information has been given by the visionaries about the secrets. Criticism The local bishops, especially Bishop Ratko Peric, have strongly condemned Međjugorje as a false apparition (read Bishop Peric's latest statement). The Vatican has not issued a definitive decision on the approval or disapproval of these apparitions.Some say that the Church's criteria, which must be followed in order to prove that an apparition is authentic or not, is not being regarded by Međjugorje faithful, believing discernment must be used, and the teachings of the Church concerning private revelations must be respected.Some Medjugorje supporters have claimed that Pope John Paul II expressed a wish to go there himself. This seems, unlikely, however, given the Vatican's own scepticism about the alleged sightings. jesus t shirt, jesus christ, jesus manger, picture of jesus christ, Many people ask if this domain is for sale.
