On June 25, about 100,000 pilgrims celebrated the 30th anniversary of the first appearance of what are described as apparitions of the Virgin Mary in the southern Bosnian town of Medjugorje. Since 1981, more than 40 million people have visited the shrine.
At dawn, pilgrims from around the world, some of them barefoot, climbed a hill above Medjugorje where six children claimed they saw visions of the Virgin Mary in June 1981.
In the village, the pilgrims attended an open-air Mass. Some of them walked on their knees around a statue of the Virgin Mary.
The Medjugorje apparition has been disputed for decades. Unlike Fatima in Portugal or Lourdes in France, the Vatican has not recognized the sightings as authentic and has not formally approved Medjugorje as a shrine site.
