More Observations From Medjugorje

Hi All,

Today on My Photographic Observations I will be continuing with the theme of the last couple of posts, being Medjugorje.

Around St James Church there are plenty of places for people to pray that are relatively silent and peaceful.
My first photo as you can see which has a sculpture of our Lord Jesus hanging on the cross. It is a very silent place I guess like a shrine where people put up candles and pray. In the background you see what appears and is a huge hill with a huge cross on the top.

Prayer And Reflection Place

It is possible to get to the top of the hill and they have stations so people can pray the Stations Of The Cross and also rest at each station. The hill is called Krizevac and is one of those hills you want to leave early in the morning for. This is not Apparition Hill where the visions take place every month.    

 The second photo is the Blessed Sacrament  that has been exposed to all the pilgrims although this was a close up shot and was outside the front of the Church.

Blessed Sacrament Exposed Praise The Lord

The Blessed Sacrament was exposed especially for these Pilgrims from Poland and others who completed a 20Km Prayer and Fasting walk.

My next photo is self explanatory, and that is walking sticks that can be bought from any number of shops around Medjugorje. Although the roads are good all the hills are not sealed just rocky paths.

Some Walking Sticks

They come in very handy let me tell you as it can be full on and tiring.

My last photo is of a Cross outside where I was staying but on the road to Krizevac. I liked the sunset that was happening so I thought it would make a nice photo.

These are My Photographic Observations. I hope you enjoyed the look and the read and thank you for taking the time to have a look.
