News release for 25th anniversary of first Medjugorje visions – 25 June 2006
New book on Medjugorje, Understanding Medjugorje: Heavenly Visions or Religious Illusion? (Theotokos Books), by Donal Anthony Foley, gives details of what really happened
25 years ago this weekend, on 24 June 1981 to be exact, on a rocky hillside called Podbrdo near a village in Yugoslavia, two teenage girls claimed they had seen the Blessed Virgin Mary while out walking. As the days went on, they were joined by four other young people, who also claimed to be able to see something. This was the beginning of the Medjugorje visions - which have continued unabated for the last 25 years for three of the six now-adult visionaries.
