Medjugorje - St. Francis Garden

Medjugorje - St. Francis Garden

In a forested area on the edge of Bijakovici, is a place of rest, peace and preserved nature - the Garden of  St. Francis. Given that St. Francis is the protector of nature, then it is understandable that he should have a garden in his honour and especially one right here in Medjugorje.

Medjugorje - (Podbrdo) The Hill of Apparitions

Medjugorje - (Podbrdo) The Hill of Apparitions

The Virgin Mary appeared first on this hill and told six children "I have come to tell the world that God exists...that peace is necessary for the salvation of the world." A stone path worn down by a million footsteps leading to the Hill of Apparitions, bears witness to the faith, hope and charity of a multitude of pilgrims. There is not a moment during the day or night that you will not find someone on the hill in contemplative prayer. And truly, here one feels a special kind of peace.
