In 2011, the total number of Holy Communions distributed during Mass in Medjugorje went above 2,000,000 for the first time. The number of concelebrations by priests was similarly record-high in passing 40,000, also for the first time.

Monks were concerned in two Medjugorje records in 2011 : Never before did so many of them come – and never before did they disburse so many Holy Communions to parishioners and travellers

2,027,900 Holy Communions would be adequate if all the inhabitants of Houston, Texas, were to receive the Body of Christ one time each. Yet the number doesn’t result from Houston, but from Medjugorje where more than 2,000,000 distributed Holy Communions in one year was registred for the first time in 2011.

The number climbed from 1,571,800, a rise of 29 % compared to 2010 which was itself a record year. 1,378,600 Holy Communions were distributed in Medjugorje in 2009, according to parish statistical data.

A record number of clergymen distributed the more than two million Holy Communions. 41,094 concelebrations of Mass were registred in Medjugorje in 2011, up from 38,227 the year before. The figures are not descriptive of the actual number of visiting clergymen, as most concelebrate more than one Mass during their stay in Medjugorje.

The existing Medjugorje boom in Italy accounts for some of the progress, though not all of it. 8,171 Italian concelebrations happened in 2011, up from 7,270 the year before and 4,718 in 2009.

Also, you must visit Medjugorje in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Medjugorje is one of the hamlets of the Western Herzegovina municipality of Citluk in the previous Yugoslavia. The name Medjugorje is Slavic and means “area between two moutains”. This true story takes place in the Bijakovici section of Medjugorje. On the afternoon of June 24, 1981, 2 girls, Ivanka Ivankovic, age fifteen, and Mirjana Dragicevic, age sixteen, were returning home from a walk. Looking toward the hill called Crnica, Ivanka saw a bright silhouette of a girl. She said to Mirjana, “It is the Gospa!” ( Our Woman ).

On June 25, the two girls returned to the hill with four others. Their names are, Vicka Ivankovic, age sixteen, Ivan Dragivevic, age sixteen, Maria Pavlovic, age sixteen and Jakov Colo, age ten. A figure in white was calling them to come up the hill. The kids were somehow transported in some puzzling way to a gorgeous Lady who calls herself, the Queen of Peace. The Woman gives messages to the seers for the whole world. To date, the Queen of Peace has left thousands of messages. Initially, the messages were almost everyday. Now, for the past one or two years, they come on the 25th of each month.

The visionaries describe Our Lady as pretty beyond words ; glowing with holiness. Her talks with the kids have taken the type of motherly sensitiveness and love, and she took the role of both mum and catechist in advising and directing their lives. She greets them with, “Praised be Jesus, my dear children.” At the end of the apparition she is saying, “Go in peace, my dear children.” She appears to the 6 visionaries as a 3 dimensional real image and always appears amid brilliant flashes of light. Her appearances usually occur about 6:40 pm each day. In Medjugorje, thousands of people come daily at this time to take part in the event with prayer, song, the rosary and the Mass, which is frequently concelebrated by 30 or even more priests. The whole evening service lasts about 3 hours. And this has been happening daily since 1981! – as reported tagza.com
