Our Lady asks everyone to come up Cross Mountain for a special apparition at 11:30 p.m. There were as many as 50,000 people present while a military helicopter hovered overhead in a show of intimidation. It flew away three or four minutes prior to the apparition at 11:25 p.m., presumably to refuel near Mostar, as five to ten minutes after the apparition ended it returned. Several times the lights from the helicopter flooded the crowd. The apparition lasted about ten minutes. When Our Lady appeared, Marija asked Her for a blessing for everyone present. Our Lady then said:
According to Marija’s testimony:
“Our Lady said She does not want us to be unfaithful and She desires each of us to surrender ourselves fully to Her will and the will of God. Our Lady said from today She is granting us special graces, and She’s giving us especially a gift of conversion so that all of us can take the blessing with us to our homes and truly encourage others to conversion. God gave us the gift tonight through Our Lady.â€
