Located just over the Croatian/Bosnian border, Medjugorje is a popular Catholic pilgrimage destination. Local legend has it that the Virgin Mary appeared to a group of children here in the 1980’s, and that some of them still claim to benefit from regular visitations. Underscoring the legend, there are stories of many miracles occurring in the town including restored vision, healed illnesses and much more. For this reason, millions of pilgrims visit the village annually and hike up the hills to the spot where the original apparition occurred, where crosses and a large statue of the Virgin Mary have been erected.
