See...House of Orphans

Day 09 of 14. Sat 13, 2007

+
We missed our appointed Mass at St James as we arrived in town. The tour guide directed the bus to this House. The Mass thus was celebrated here. When we left the House, we met the caretaker of the place outside, she explained the mission of orphanage and current tasks supporting the number of children living here.

The altar deco were dramatic, the design of the Cross and the black military helmet intrigued visitors and made us wonder. The church reminded the legacy of war ravaging this area, not too long ago. Now the country was at peace, and opened door to pilgrims to the world coming to Medjugorje.
