The Feast of Exaltation of the Holy Cross will be celebrated in Medjugorje on the first Sunday after the feast of Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Solemn Holy Mass on Cross Mountain will be celebrated on September 15, 2013 at 11 a.m. All pilgrims who are not able to climb Cross Mountain can take part in one of the Holy Masses that will be celebrated in the church of St. James at 6, 7, 8 a.m. and 12 and 7 p.m. The cross was built in 1933, when the world celebrated 1900th Anniversary of Our Redeemer’s death on the cross. Parishioners prayed and gathered there once a year up to 1981, when after the apparitions it became the place of prayer for all of the pilgrims from the whole world.
