The small remote village of Medjugorje (Med-jew-gor-yay) /Međugorje/, judging by the caves around it, may have been inhabited since the older Stone Age period.

This part of Croatia is rugged and rocky with low-lying vegetation, dense evergreen underbrush, and little forestland.
Medjugorje is a small town bordering Croatia in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Claims of apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary in 1981 have made this place a very popular religious pilgrimage destination.

Other than the Shrine, Medjugorje also has several other tourist attractions like its holiday resorts, quiet beaches, and water sports, giving it that extra charm. Given below are some details about the amazing Medjugorje beaches.

There seems to be no end in attempts to make the Medjugorje apparitions go away. Once again the Bishop of Mostar who has jurisdiction over the Medjugorje region has made yet another bold demand in his continuation to stop Our Lady's apparitions. Medjugorje USA has received reports from reliable sources that the Bishop has written a letter to visionary Mirjana stating her public apparition held at the Community Cenacolo on the 2nd of each month, must stop. To ensure the public apparitions stop, the Bishop also wrote a letter to Community Cenacolo Medjugorje founder, Sister Elvira. As a result of this letter Sister Elvira received from the Bishop, Medjugorje USA have been told Sister Elvira will be obedient of the orders from the Bishop.
