Medjugorje: the double appearance of Wednesday 24 June 1981. Here is what happened

On June 24, 1981, the day of the feast of St. John the Baptist, two girls, Ivanka Ivankovic and Mirjana Dragicevic, both from Bijakovici from the parish of Medugorje, went, around four in the afternoon, to the mountain above the village to go for a walk and to bring back the sheep that had risen too high.
Here, suddenly, that Ivanka sees in front of her, suspended about 30 centimeters from the ground, a young woman with a bright and smiling face. He immediately shouts to his friend Mirjana: "Here is the Madonna!". Mirjana looks at her as well but, amazed, she makes a gesture of denial with her hand and says: "But how can Our Lady be ?!".
Both were shocked by what had happened to them and, returning to the village, they told the neighbors what they had seen on the mountain. On the same day, at dusk, they returned with friends to the same place, with the secret desire to see the Madonna again. Ivanka saw her again first and said: “Here she is!”; then the others also saw her who were, besides Mirjana, Milka Pavlovic, Ivan Dragicevic, Ivan Ivankovic and Vicka Ivankovic, They all saw Our Lady, but they were so upset that they did not know what to ask her, they did not even speak to her and scared they ran home again .
Of course, on their return, they told what had happened to them and what they had seen. On that occasion nobody or almost believed them. In fact, someone made fun of them and said they had seen a flying saucer or had hallucinated. However, people continued to talk about what happened until late at night, while the boys who saw Our Lady, as they said, did not sleep all night and waited for the next morning awake.
The next day they set off again (they were six boys and girls and with them there were also two elderly people) towards the place of the apparition which is halfway up the mount Crnica and which is called Podbrdo, that is "Foot of the hill ".
While they were still going, they saw like a flash of light coming down, as it were, from heaven to earth and, immediately afterwards, they saw the Madonna. They then began to run towards her and, although they were uphill, they felt transported, as if they had wings, towards the apparition, without paying attention to the stones or thorns that could have hurt their bare feet.
When they arrived in front of the Madonna, they fell to their knees and prayed. This time, Ivan Ivankovic, son of the late Jozo, and Milka Pavlovic, Marija's sister, who had stayed at home, were missing at the meeting with the Madonna: Ivan because, being a little older , did not want to get together with boys, and Milka because mom needed her for some household chores. Milka had said on that occasion: “Well, Marija go; it's enough!" And so it happened.
The little Jakov Colo was added to the group, and so on that day they saw the Madonna: Vicka Ivankovic, Ivanka Ivankovic, Mirjana Dragicevic, Ivan Dragicevic and together with them Marija Pavlovic and Jakov Colo who were not present on the first day. Since then these six boys became stable seers.
