Travellers Are Heading To Medjugorje To Mark 30 Years Since A Grouping Of Local Youths Claimed To Have First Seen A Vision Of The Virgin Mary, An Event That Has Drawn Many Millions Of People To This Remote Town In Southern Bosnia.
Pilgrims ARE flocking to Medjugorje to mark thirty years since a grouping of local kids claimed to have first seen a vision of the Virgin Mary, an event that has drawn tens of millions of folks to this remote town in southern Bosnia.
Visitors from around the world will rise at dawn and climb the rocky Krizevac or Cross Hill to where Our Lady is alleged to have appeared, to start a day of memorial events that many hope will help Medjugorje’s bid for Vatican recognition as a site of special importance.
A Vatican commission controlled by influential Italian cardinal Camillo Ruini last year opened an inquiry into the genuineness of the apparitions. Some of the self-declared visionaries say that Mary still visits them every day and gives them messages to pass on to the world .
Disputes over the authenticity of the visions has caused infrequently bitter disputes between local clergymen and inspired cautions from the Vatican, but advocates were heartened when Cardinal Christoph Schoenborn, a close ally of Pope Benedict, made a personal visit to Medjugorje in late 2009.
The town, that has grown at an extraordinary rate in recent times and is replete with hotels, restaurants and keepsake shops, was yesterday thronged with travellers who braved 35-degree heat to scale the steep and craggy hill and offer requests to Our Lady.
“It was a long journey to get here but with prayer anything is possible,” claimed Tadas Bertulis ( thirty ), who endured a three-day bus ride from Lithuania to reach this once-obscure corner of Bosnia.
“Mary was with us on the road and She’s with us here. I have no words to describe the feeling of being here,” he revealed, adding that a bunch of fellow Lithuanians were now walking from their Baltic homeland to Medjugorje and hoped to arrive in Sep.
Eileen O’Connor from Corp Galway was on a “holy holiday” with relatives. “I have been to Medjugorje 20 times in ten years. The 1st time, I came to Our Lady with a massive cross on my shoulder which was lifted. So I’ve been saying thank you for that. There are such a lot of folk here there appear to be a lot more than than normal. However it is tranquil and there’s always so much joy here”, writes tagza.com.
The place of Our Lady’s first apparitions on the hill of Crnica is usually called Apparition Hill. It is situated several hundred meters above the Bijakovo hamlet of Podbrdo in Medjugorje. A steep footpath leads from the homes to the very place of the apparitions. Now barely dilated by the uncountable millions of travellers who have so far made a trip to the place of the first apparitions, the trail has become visible from as far distant as St. James.
Many travellers, plenty of whom were born and raised on flat asphalt, often in less than suitable clothing or shoeless, and on their knees, climbed over the sharpened stones to the place of Our Lady’s first apparitions. Half way up the trail is found an enormous plain wooden cross. This is where on the 3rd day of the apparitions, June 26, 1981, Our Lady appeared to the idealist Marija Pavlovic who, after having had a vision with the others at the common place that evening, ran down the hill a little ahead of the other visionaries. At this place Marija once more saw Our Lady, now with a miserable face.
Behind her was an enormous cross and motioning with her hands she announced, “Peace, peace, peace and only peace! Peace must reign between God and man and also between men!” Today this is a place where travellers stop, remaining in prayer and reflection on the message given by Our Lady, directed to occupy, and the world of today, which is so much in such great need of peace.
The very location of apparitions is a giant bare space on the rocky ground more than 100 meters in diameter, utterly trodden down by the feet of millions of travellers, without a single stem or blade of grass between the rocks, without not much of a lump of ground or maybe little rocks. At the site that the visionaries closely marked as the very place where Our Lady had appeared to them, a high cross is erected, planted into a bunch of rocks. Only something really unusual might have attracted such a great profusion of folk to that place. At any point of day or night, any day of the year, individuals and groups can be discovered in prayer, in song, in deep meditation, and silence.
Beside these apparitions plenty of other miracles and puzzling phenomena occur in Medjugorje. One example : It happend a few times that someone in Medjugorje or in other places in the world has made a picture and instead of the first motive there was an entirely different picture, specifically the Virgin Mary. Naturally, it is surely possible to fake an image, but this happend to people who did not know each other.They are from totaly different nations but the motive on the picture was always the same.
After a bit the motiv modified. It was always Virgin Mary, but sometimes it was just her and often you could see her holding Jesus. A picture which was made in Medjugorje did not show the first motiv after the development. Instead of the first motiv something entirely different
Was shown : in this situation the image of Mary with the kid Jesus.
