Medjugorje Sanctuary

The shrine of the Queen of Peace, in the Parish of Medjugorje, was built to celebrate the apparitions of Our Lady Mary mother of Jesus. In 1981, when the apparitions started, the life of the parish changed. Thanks to Our Lady’s apparitions, Medjugorje – a simple village parish – became a place of gathering for a multitude of catholic pilgrims from the whole world (in the first 20 years, more then 20 million), and one of the biggest prayer centres in the world, comparable to Lourdes and Fatima. Innumerable witnesses say that, precisely in this place, they have found faith and peace.
