The City Sports Hall in Citluk was packed for the event dedicated to the 31 years of apparitions in Medjugorje. Two shows will be broadcast later on HRT, the main Croatian tv station. A large number of singers and performers from Croatia and Hercegovina were on stage, local news portal Brotnjo Online informs.
In his welcome, Citluk mayor Ivo Jerkic said he was honored that Citluk and Medjugorje had been selected to host an eptisode of the popular entertainment show, with the main objective of presenting the local cultural and spiritual values. He also noted how the apparitions in Medjugorje had made the municipality famous and well-visited.
“The pilgrims arrive in Medjugorje on foot, and return from Medjugorje on wings” Jerkic said.
