Alleged visions of Mary, mother of Jesus

Our Lady of Medjugorje, also called Queen of Peace and Mother of the Redeemer, is the title given to a series of visions of the Virgin Mary, mother of Jesus, which are said to have occurred for six Herzegovinian Croat children in Medjugorje, Bosnia and Herzegovina beginning in 1981. Those claiming to be observers often refer to the apparition as the Gospa, which is a Croatian archaism for 'lady'.
