Mainstream family magazine, Reader’s Digest, published an article on Medjugorje entitled “A Village Sees the Light†which was condensed from an article in Sunday Times Magazine. This was among the first secular publications in the United States to run an article on the events of Medjugorje bringing news of the apparitions of the Virgin Mary into the mainstream culture. The awareness of Medjugorje was slowly spreading throughout the United States through such means of secular sources, just as the Winter Olympics had done the same, on a worldwide level, when the Olympics came to Sarajevo in February 1984.
