Nestled amidst the scenic landscapes of Herzegovina, the charming parish of Medjugorje beckons travelers with its mystical allure. Situated 25 km southwest of Mostar, this hidden gem comprises the quaint villages of Bijakovići, Vionica, Miletina, and Šurmanci, collectively forming a vibrant Roman-Catholic community. Home to approximately 5000 inhabitants, the spiritual guardianship of Medjugorje lies in the hands of the dedicated priests from the Herzegovinian Franciscan Province of the Assumptions of Mary. With a history that spans over thirteen centuries, Medjugorje holds the proud legacy of the Bosnian Croats, who embraced Christianity in the distant past. The village itself was first mentioned in historical records back in 1599, while the present-day parish, established in 1892, is devoted to St. James the Apostle, revered as the patron saint of pilgrims. Prior to the extraordinary events that transpired on June 24, 1981, Medjugorje thrived as a humble agricultural community, where hardworking locals cultivated tobacco, tended to vineyards, and lovingly nurtured their crops to sustain their modest way of life.
