Pictures & Brief Description of Blue Cross

"Blue Cross" This Medjugorje site has a distinct Blue Cross marking the spot where the visionaries met in secret for their apparitions during the communist persecution of the early days. During the early days of persecution, Mt. Podbrdo (Apparition Hill) was occupied by the armed Yugoslavia Socialist Army. The Yugoslavia government did not believe in the apparitions. They wanted them to stop. Blue Cross was hidden from the road, not far from the base of Podbrdo and went unnoticed by the Socialist Army. Apparition Hill was occupied for a short period as thousands of visiting pilgrims ignored repeated attempts to stop the apparitions. Pilgrims continued to flood Medjugorje until the Army gave up trying to stop them and disappeared from sight.  From this most recent picture we can see this hidden spot is no longer hidden.
