Apparition Hill (Mount Podbrdo)
This mountainous hill is where the visionaries first encountered Our Lady. Also, at the base of this hill is a Blue Cross, where it is said Our Lady appeared to the children while they hid from the communist police in the early days of the alleged apparitions. When climbing, your group is invited to recite the Rosary, pausing five times for each decade of the Rosary. At the top of the hill, you will witness the exact location of the first alleged apparition of Our Lady to the visionaries, and enjoy private time in prayer. It was from Apparition Hill where Our Lady first began inviting the world, through the visionaries and the village of Medjugorje, to respond to Her call. There have been thousands of apparitions of Our Lady on this hill —apparitions that continue even today.
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 Yugoslavian 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 briefly 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.

“Krizevac” means “Mount of the Cross.” It is the highest mountain in the area. In 1933, the parish of St. James erected a large concrete cross to commemorate the 1900th Anniversary of Jesus’ passion and death on the Cross. Cross Mountain is central to one’s pilgrimage to Medjugorje. It is a penitential climb that leads pilgrims to reflect upon their relationship with God and what they need to change to draw closer to Him. Deep healing, cleansing, and peace are often experienced at the summit of the mountain, at the foot of the cross, after pilgrims arrive at the top. Our Lady has made it clear in Her messages that it is Her desire to see pilgrims climbing both Cross Mountain and Apparition Mountain.
