Risen Christ Picture Gallery
(Please do not take our images without permission)
The Medjugorje expansion project was the idea of
the late Father Slavo (March 11, 1946 - Nov. 24, 2000.) Made mostly of bronze and copper the statue is
quite unique and beautiful. Most pilgrims would stop by the statue to admire it
and pray when people begin to notice that the statue was oozing an oil or water
like substance. A friend who lives in Medjugorje informed me that a
man took a paper napkin and reached to take a drop of oil from the Risen Christ
statue. When he looked at the napkin it is reported that the napkin was full of
blood. A minimum of 50 people witnessed this. Some screamed in fear and some
said, "It's a miracle." Because no scientific study has been done on the Risen Christ statue, we can
only ponder what it all means. It can be a fine line between truth and
sensationalism so exercising caution is highly recommended. Yet on the other
hand, we the faithful also know that miracles happen. Ultimately it is up to
research and each individual to decide for themselves. Today thousand of pilgrims have applied the oozing fluid to a handkerchief
which has become known as a prayer cloth.
