On a summer’s day in 1981, two teenagers in a Bosnian village reported seeing an apparition of the Virgin Mary, dressed in startling white and carrying a child. The following day, four other young people in the village claimed to have seen a similar vision. Before long the six visionaries were reporting daily apparitions of Our Lady.
The village of Medjugorje has since become famous, and controversial, in the Catholic world, drawing in pilgrims from across the globe with reports of conversions and miracles.
