MEDJUGORJE, Bosnia-Herzegovina Thousands Of Christian Travellers Have Gathered In The Southern Bosnian Town Of Medjugorje To Mark The 30th Anniversary Of The Disputed Apparition Of The Virgin Mary.

MEDJUGORJE, Bosnia-HerzegovinaThousands of Christian travellers have gathered in the southern Bosnian village of Medjugorje to mark the 30th anniversary of the contested apparition of the Virgin Mary.
At dawn Saturday, travellers from around the world climbed a hill above Medjugorje where 6 youngsters claimed in 1981 they had the visions.

The Medjugorje apparition has been disputed for decades. Unlike Fatima in Portugal or Lourdes in France, the Roman Catholic church is cautious about calling the sightings real, and hasn't officially authorised Medjugorje as a shrine site. The Vatican last year started officially inquiring into the apparitions that the sixnow adultsclaim are still regular.

But the absence of official recognition has not stopped the remote village from thriving, through communism and then war. Some 40 million faithful have visited its shrine so far.

It is thought that the Virgin Mary showed herself and conveyed messages of peace to 6 kids in Medjugorje on June 25, 1981.

For thirty years, the alleged phenomenon was ignored by the Catholic authorities in Rome till 2010 when Pope Benedict XVI issued an order to form an investigation team to go searching for the truth surrounding the Medjugorje sightings. From the start in 1981, Medjugorje was widely accepted by Catholic followers, and travellers arrived in their hundreds of thousands every year to wish to the Virgin.

The Collectors - $9.99 In this independent drama, Logan (Adam Abram) is a young man with a great talent in the martial arts -- a gift he inherited from his father. However, when Logan loses the use of his legs in a auto accident, he's left with little reason to go on, and his father doesn't shy away from expressing his disappointment, especially as his father has recently lost his job. Logan's grandfather is sympathetic to his situation, and with the young man in mind he designs a hyper-realistic video game which will allow Logan to virtually exercise the fighting skills his body no longer allows. But Logan spends too much time with the game, and eventually finds himself lost somewhere between cyberspace and reality. The Collectors was written and directed by John Lyde, who has also directed several independent films relating to issues within the Mormon faith. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
