[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is photo taken on second Way of Cross in Medjugorje. This on is on small hill now called Apparition Hill because on this place where today is statue of MAdona, Queen Of Peace, happened first vision of her on June 24, 1981.
From then Medjugorje from small unknown, unatractive Herzegovian village became world known pilgrimage destination for christians.
Today hunderd thousands pilgrim each year come here to pass two WAy of Cross settled on two hills near Medjugorje.
Each of these hills is covered with very sharp and slippery rocks.
On top of one is big cross and on this one is few meters high statua of Madona.
In front of statue is always a lot of people kneeling and praying.
Some of them pray silently, some of them cry loudly.
But they have one thing in common, their faith and their hope that force them to pass these Way of Cross.
On the day I took these photo weather is wery bad, rain was pouring heavilly all weekend, but in spite of this thousend of pilgrims was their with their believes and their hopes.
