Located in the heart of Medjugorje is a spiritually powerful place of healing and contemplation. The focal point is an enormous sculpture of the Risen Christ....made mostly of bronze and copper. Slovenian sculptor, Andrija Ajdič donated it to the Shrine of Medjugorje in1998 after having it blessed by Pope John Paul II. It was installed on Easter Day. While named the Risen Christ, the intent of the sculptor was to merge the Crucified with the Risen Christ as one. It displays Jesus posed like a cross, yet he is resurrected because he is standing in triumph with his body imprint left on the ground. At close look, you can see the scripture of Psalm 138 is engraved over his loin cloth. Mysteriously, in 2002, just a few years after the statue was erected, a trickling flow of water, began seeping from the right knee of this sculpture that is very similar to a tear-like liquid. On any given day, pilgrims can be seen lining up to get close to the statue, some with handkerchiefs in their hands, wiping the “liquid” oozing from just below the right knee.
