The group of younger people from Germany expounded that such a beauty of our church can be felt only here, If you suspect that our faith died, you simply come here and in the unity of more than 50 thousand people you see that faith lives. There is something in the atmosphere you can feel immediately, says young man in normal attire and his friend Benedikta, who came for the 1st time said that she came to Medjugorje to fortify her religion.
There is also a bunch of youngsters from Australia, who came to Dubrovnik for a vacation, but they rented mini wagon and they drive each day to Medjugorje and back to Dubrovnik in the evening time. Some of them are not even religious. They also talk about something special here in Medjugorje. Many visitors sleep in medjugorje hotel . As they come from wealthy families it is not an issue for them to sleep in a hotel and drive each day to Medjugorje.
There is also a group of travellers from Italy who came to Medjugorje by bicycle and after the Youth holiday they will continue their journey of 4500 km to Holy Land, looking to spread messages of peace and reconciliation on their way. One of them, Marcello, lives with the transplanted kidneys and asserts : I came here knackered ; my health hasn't been so great. despite that I made up my mind to come!

And while young people are returning to their homes, being spiritually renewed and bolstered in their faith, new groups of pilgrims are arriving to Medjugorje with every day.
