They obeyed, 2ston- ished at how quickly they got to the top. "It was as if we were pulled -through the air," Vkka said. .."It was impossible," said Mir- jana's uncle who, with many other villagers, had followed them. "It takes at least twelve minutes to get. ..up there, and they m2de it in about two.." By the firric the villagers reached the top, the six children were knccl-~ ing; on the r"- - s, praying. The Gospa told them, they said, that this day- Thursday, Jurie 25, ig8i-was to :.be.considered the true'beginning Of her appearances, and tha t s ;he would return the ncxt day. - News of the visions spread like 50 rvbruary wildfire. By Sunday, thousands had congregated on the hill, over which shone a brilliant light, visible to all. The. children' described to the crowd what the Gospa looked like. Having identified herself as the "Blcssed Virgin Mary," the appari- tion added, "I come as the Queen of Peace." Soon there occurred the first of many strange pbenomelia described by eyewitnesses: - the word mir, "peace" in Strbo-Cro- atian, appeired in huge flame-cot-' ored letters across the night sky, ending above the parish church in Medjuggrie. 'The parish priest was away on a retreat, but his elderly asiistant pointedly ignoied the event. It was only. when the excitement threat-'- eined to turn intq religious frenzy that-p~rish officials and local au-.. th9rities stepped in. The assistant priest and the police interrogated the children. Four doctors, two of them neurologists, examined the young .people and stated unequivo'- cally Aat they were "entirely healthy in mind and body-" During the first week, hundreds of pepplc witniessed the "healing" of -a'threc-year-old boy who had been mute, dcaf and virtually para- lyzed since birth.'(Since then, nu- me'r'ous other healings have been claimcd.)

They defined it as "a state of intense, active prayer, par- tially disconnected fi-om the exte- rior world, a state ofcontemplation and of healthy communication with, a definite pcrson whom only they can see, bear and touch." PrOE Louis 1~4-langer, an expert on paranormal phenomena at the Theological Faculty of the Univcr- sity of Montreal, is more skeptical. He was present when Vicka seemed to flinch during the ecstasy as fingers were suddenly poked at her eyes. This, be says, shows Vicka was not "disconnected." "She isn't," Father Barbaric replies patiently. "She is in ecstasy-a state in which the subjtct is partially discoraicacd." Professor 1361anger suggests that the youngsters are probably seeing a 'vision," not an apparition-some- thing in their minds, rjot something outside themselves. The vision could, theoretically, be repeated in- -definitely by a sort ofself-hypnosis. The communist Yugoslav state has bean ambivalent. On the one hand, it has hardly interfered.
