In The Beginning
THE STORY OF MEDJUGORJE IN A NUTSHELL
A small village in Bosnia-Hercegovinia (formerly Yugoslavia) first became famous on June 24, 1981. On that date, according to the testimonies of 6 children ( 5 teens and 1 boy of 10 years), Mary revealed herself on Podbrdo, a rocky hill in Medjugorje. What makes this apparition site unique in the long list of claimed apparitions from all over the world is that the apparitions have continued to the present time, almost 25 years.
At around 6 p.m. on that first day several of the teens saw a beautiful young woman with a crown, holding a baby in her arms up on the hill. She waved to them, inviting them to come closer. They were so frightened that they ran home. On the following day, June 25, 1981, the teens returned to the bottom of the hill at the same time as the previous day. Suddenly they saw 3 flashes of light and the same beautiful woman. They approached her this day and she prayed with them. On the third day, the children climbed up the hill, wishful, anxious and fearful. About 1000 people joined them as word had spread fast.
Mary has come with messages through all of these years, wishing to draw the whole world, Her children, to Her Son. The messages of Our Lady are of two kinds - general messages for everyone in the World and special messages for the parish that was "especially chosen to be lead by Her" and the pilgrims who visit it. Peace, Faith, Conversion, Praying and Fasting are five basic messages that are part of all of the others in a more or less direct way. 25 years of messages from heaven, just for us.
