The township of Medjugorje has been around for a long time, first mentioned in documented records from 1599. Christianity came to this village 1,300 years ago and today it is wholly inhabited by Croatian Catholics, with the Catholic Parish covering Medjugorje and four of its neighboring villages - namely Surmanci, Miletina, Bijakovici and Vionica. The existing Parish was established in 1892 and is dedicated to St. James, the apostle and guardian saint of pilgrims. Make sure you book Medjugorje Hotels near St. James Church.

Devout Catholics aspire to visit Medjugorje once in their lifetime, to pray at the site of the apparition of the Blessed Mother. What is also unique to Medjugorje is that the church here conducts Mass in more than ten languages including Croatian, Italian, Spanish, and English, in addition to a daily prayer service in the evening.

In 1981, six Croatian children were playing on a rugged mountain slope when they were blessed with the vision of the Virgin Mother. The parents did not believe them initially. But when the children persisted that they saw the apparition almost every day, the parents were convinced, and very soon the most rabid disbelievers were converted into devout believers. Millions of Catholics began arriving at Medjugorje to pray at the site of the holy visions.We offer a range of Medjugorje Tours and activities so that you can also enjoy other aspects of the region.

Before the apparitions were sighted on the 24th of June 1981, Medjugorje was just another small, sleepy village with only about 400 people, making a meager livelihood from tobacco farming, grape and vegetable cultivation and wine distilling from vineyards.
