Medjugorje Crucifix: Mary stands on a wooden base with a three times repeated inscription “Mir, Mir, Mir” , which in the Croatian language means “Peace, Peace, Peace”. These words have now over the years become an icon of the apparitions of Our Lady of Medjugorje. The same words appeared up in the sky on August 6, 1981, this was noticed by lots of people.

 “Medjugorje” literally means “between mountains” because the town is situated between two hills: Križevac and Podbrdo (which will likely be called “Apparition Hill”). The parish of Medjugorje was founded in 1892 under the protection of St. James, the protector of pilgrims.
