Međugorje is one of the most famous Catholic shrines in the world, located near the town Čitluk, in the southern part of Bosnia and Herzegovina. It has about 4300 inhabitants, and became famous for the apparitions of the Virgin Mary, which first started in 1981. The story of Međugorje is well known to most Catholics. Six teenagers in 1981 played in the hills between the village of Međugorje and Bijakovići, when Our Lady appeared and spoke to them. When the children told their parents the first reaction was skepticism. Yet these apparitions are not stopped, the The Virgin Mary come back again and again pointed until skeptics have not lost any possibility of criticism. It is estimated that since then, over 15 million people have visited this little place.
