This installment is about the early days in Medjugorje. Things start changing in the village as more and more people came there.
Visitors would congregate in and around the church before and/or after climbing up to the apparition site where the teens first met the Virgin Mary.

Gradually, even the villagers began to find themselves participating more frequently in these church services as well.
A renewed spiritual energy grew in the little village.
On the world front, President Reagan delivered his “Tear Down This Wall” challenge to the Soviets and East German Government and things in Poland continued to heat up between the God-fearing workers and the Godless Communist regime.
The Constant Procession is a book, a personal memoir about the history of the Virgin Mary or the Madonna since she passed on.
