Information about Medjugorje
Međugorje is a town located in western Bosnia and Herzegovina, in the Herzegovina region around 25 km southwest of Mostar and close to the border of Croatia. Today the town is best known due to reported apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary which appeared to six Croats since 24 June 1981, and is now visited by thousands of pilgrims from around the entire world as an important Marian shrine. The name Međugorje literally means an area "between mountains". At an altitude of 200 meters above sea level, it has a mild Mediterranean climate. The town consists of an ethnically-homogeneous Croat population of over 4000, and the Roman Catholic Parish (local administrative and religious area) consists of five neighboring villages (Međugorje, Bijakovići, Vionica, Miletina and Šurmanci).
