Medjugorje is a town located in the Herzegovina region of Bosnia and Herzegovina, close to the border of Croatia. On the 24th June 1981 the town experienced something akin to Fatima, with the Sun dancing in the sky and six children claiming to have received a message delivered from the Virgin Mary. The messages attributed to ‘Our Lady of Medjugorje’ have a strong following worldwide – they are still being received up to the present day, and a number of websites record the messages, for example: http://www.medjugorje.ws/  The town has become one of the most popular pilgrimage sites for Catholics in the world and each year more than 1 million people visit. It has been estimated that 30 million pilgrims have come to Medjugorje since the 1981 event.

Many attendees have reported visual phenomena including the Sun spinning in the sky, flickering and strobing or changing colour, with figures such as hearts and crosses circling around the solar disc. A lot of witnesses say they are able to look directly at the shining orb without suffering eye damage. Jesuit Father Robert Faricy has written about his own experience of such phenomena, saying, "Yet I have seen rosaries which have changed colour, and I have looked directly at the Sun in Medjugorje and have seen it seem to spin and turn different colours. It would be easier to report that it is just hysteria except that I would then have to accuse myself of being hysterical, which I was not and am not."
 
Many people have recorded the strange solar events on camera and these can be found on You Tube. One such example is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHk_Ucw5vHQ
Of course there those who claim that the pictures have been tampered with, but then how do the images happen to concur with what thousands of eye-witnesses are saying they are seeing? In coming weeks I will post information about similar happenings going on with the Sun in America and the Philippines.
