What you can expect

  • Begin your visit at the Naša Majka Museum, where visitors gain deeper insight into the history of the apparitions, the lives of the six visionaries, and the development of the Medjugorje phenomenon from 1981 to today. The museum offers a focused introduction that helps place the rest of the visit into a historical and spiritual context.

    Continue to St. James Church, the center of religious life in Medjugorje. Explore the church grounds, including the outdoor altar, the Prayer Area, the Confessional Area, often called the world's largest open-air confessional, and the Statue of the Risen Christ. Learn about the parish history and how Medjugorje transformed from a quiet village into a global pilgrimage destination.

    From there, proceed to the Blue Cross, a peaceful prayer site at the foot of Apparition Hill. This area became especially significant during the early years of the apparitions and remains a place of gathering, silence, and prayer for pilgrims from around the world.

    At the Blue Cross, your guided tour concludes with a final explanation of the apparition site and the meaning of Apparition Hill in Medjugorje’s spiritual life.

    Guests who wish to continue may ascend Apparition Hill (Podbrdo) individually for personal prayer and reflection, following the Rosary path up to the Statue of the Queen of Peace. Those who prefer not to climb the hill may return with the guide to the center of Medjugorje.
