The church had the capacity of about 1,000 seating.
To some pilgrim groups speaking of various languages the Mass had enough seats, as we arrived late for our time there were plenty of seats, P1030084.jpg. There were seating benches outdoors in addition with PA speakers for the overflow of about 500 seating.

We had the English Mass on the second day as announced. The Mass was full with standing people, IMG_0744.jpg. All the pilgrim led priests co-celebrated the Mass and resided at the altar on this day, there were about 30 priests celebrating the Mass, this number was relatively constant around the clock, with Mass after Mass one after another into the evening.

On the right side of the altar was the Blessed Mother of Medjugorje. Her attire and colors were depicted as seen by the visionaries.

About a week and a half before we came to Medjugorje, one of the visionaries Mirjana Dragicevic-Soldo received the message of the Blessed Mother inside the church, at 9AM. The church was in full with standing people from 6AM waiting for the moment of event.
