Details

Since 1981, in a small village in Bosnia-Herzegovina named Medjugorje, the Blessed Virgin Mary has been appearing and giving messages to the world. She tells us that God has sent Her to our world, and these years She is spending with us are a time of Grace granted by God. In Her own words She tells us, "I have come to tell the world that God exists. He is the fullness of life, and to enjoy this fullness and peace, you must return to God”. The apparitions in Medjugorje continue each day, you can witness the supernatural events and miracles for the church, in this small village nestled between the hills in Bosnia & Herzegovina. The name Medjugorje literally means "between mountains".

We fly from London to Split/Dubrovnik. Upon arrival your guide and driver will be waiting to take you to your hotel in Medjugorje. The journey takes approximately two and a half hours, so sit back and relax and enjoy the beautiful panoramic view of the countryside and the Adriatic Sea. Late evening check in & dinner at the hotel.

After breakfast, we meet with our guide and walk to St James Church where we will have our concelebrated Mass in English or (primate mass) . Afterwards, we will have a guided walking tour of the Sanctuary and the surrounding area. We will have lunch and afterwards we go to the Apparition Hill where our guide will explain all the information you long to hear on Our Blessed Mother’s Apparitions. On our way down, we visit Vicka‘s old family house. She is one of the 6 visionaries and received many apparitions during her years here. Later we attend evening prayer services at St. James chapel. Daily Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament is held at the open altar at the back of the church

After breakfast, we meet with our guide at the hotel and we go to the Mount Krizevac (Cross Mountain), a kilometre away from the church and 520 metres above sea level. We pray the Stations of the Cross on the way up to the mountain. Please note that to go up the mountain you must be reasonably fit and be very careful as the mountain has rough rocks and stones to tackle. The Gigantic Cross you see up here was erected by local people in 1933 to commemorate the 1900th anniversary of our Jesus’ Crucifixion. Enjoy the view at the summit and relax before the descent, then back to the hotel. Later we visit the village of Surmanci, the Church of the Merciful Jesus. In the church there is a miraculous icon of Jesus of Mercy. This icon was in the Sanctuary of Divine Mercy in Trento where Ugo Festa was miraculously healed when he prayed before it. It also has a small relic of St Faustina. We return to Medjugorje and have lunch here. Free for the remainder of the day. Evening dinner at the hotel.

Today we explore outside Medjugorje and visit the Old City of Mostar, a Medieval City. The highlight is the famous Old Bridge of Mostar built in the 17th century and sadly destroyed during the Bosnia and Herzegovina war between 1992 and 1995. It is now being restored to is its former glory. We celebrate Mass in St Paul/Peter church here. We stay here for the rest of the day we have lunch and do some shopping here. Late evening we leave Medjugorje for our flight back to United Kingdom.
