Main menu: Apparition Hill (Podbrdo) The place of the first apparitions of Our Lady, several hundreds meters above the Bijakovici hamlet called Podbrdo, is today called Apparition Hill. A steep path leads from the houses to the very place of the apparitions, along which - On the way towards the place of the apparitions, a large wooden cross was erected, signalling the place where - At the very place of the apparitions, in honour of the 20th anniversary of the apparitions, a statue of the Queen of Peace was placed, sculpted according to the model of the statue, which you can find in front of the parish church (the work of Dino Felici). For the pilgrims, an encounter with Apparition Hill is encounter with Our Lady through personal prayer and prayer of the rosary. In June 2002, bronze reliefs representing the glorious mysteries of the Rosary (the work of Prof. Carmelo Puzzolo) were placed on the path descending towards the Blue Cross. At the foot of Apparition Hill is the Blue Cross, placed there in 1985. At this place, Ivan the visionary's prayer group gathers regularly, ever since July 4th, 1982. Cross Mountain (Križevac) Cross Mountain is a mount above Medjugorje (520 m) where on March 15, 1934, the parishioners constructed a concrete cross 8.56 m high, built in remembrance of the 1900 years since the death of Jesus. On the cross is written:"To Jesus Christ, Redeemer of the human race, as a sign of their faith, love and hope, in remembrance of the 1900 years since the death of Jesus". Relics received from Rome for the occasion are embedded in the cross bar itself. Since then, the custom was established of celebrating Holy Mass at the foot of the cross in commemoration of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, on the 1st Sunday after the Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. According to the visionaries, in the message of August 30, 1984, Our Lady said : "The cross was also in God's plan when you built it." With Our Lady's apparitions, the faithful started to pray the Way of the Cross on Cross Mountain. In the beginning, the stations were marked with simple wooden crosses, and in 1988, bronze reliefs (the work of Carmelo Puzzolo) were placed there. On each one of them, with the exception of the Garden of Gethsemane, Our Lady is situated. For the pilgrims, Cross Mountain is a call to meet Jesus in His Passion and to discover His love. On the first death anniversary of Fr. Slavko Barbaric (November 24, 2001), on the place where he gave his soul into the hands of the Lord, a memorial was erected: Fr. Slavko's relief in bronze encrusted in stone. Between two stations of the cross, it will remain as a sign and a memorial of a man who said what he thought and who did what he said, following the Gospel and the messages of the Mother of the Word Incarnate, the Queen of Peace.

Križ na Brdu zvanom Šipovac izgrađen je 1934.god. Župljani predvođeni svojim župnikom fra Bernardinom Smoljanom podigli su ovaj zavjetni križ u spomen 1900.obljetnice Muke i Smrti Gospodina našega Isusa Krista. Odluku o gradnji križa donijeli su nakon Božića 1933.god. Radovi su trajali otprilike mjesec dana a vodio ih je Ante Vasilj Redžo. Župljani su zanosno radili na izgradnji križa noseći na vlastitim leđima ili uz pomoć konja pržinu,cement,željezo,drvo i vodu. Križ je visok 8,52 m.U samo križište ugrađene su moći Križa Isusova,donesene iz Rima za ovu prigodu. Križ je izgrađen je na nadmorskoj visini od 498m. Blagoslov križa svečano je proslavljen u petak 16.ožujka 1934.god. Bilo je to veliko slavlje u župi Međugorje kojem su svjedočili i mnogi svećenici i vjernici iz drugih okolnih župa. U toj prigodi brdo je dobilo novo ime - Križevac. Biskup je dao odobrenje da se svake godine može slaviti sveta misa na Križevcu prvu nedjelju iza blagdana Male Gospe. Riječi urezane u betonskom križu u srcima nose svi oni milijuni hodočasnika: IHS/ ISUSU KRISTU/ OTKUPITELJU LJUDSKOGA RODA/ U ZNAK SVOJE VJERE, LJUBAVI/ I NADE/ PODIGOŠE/ BERNARDIN/ SMOLJAN/ ŽUPNIK/ I ŽUPA/ MEĐUGORJE/ OD/ SVAKOGA ZLA/ OSLOBODI/ SVE NAS/ ISUSE! Križni put, reljef u bronci, uradio je talijanski umjetnik Carmelo Puzzolo. U svom ateljeu je izradio postaje križnog puta gdje uz 14 standardnih postaja imamo na početku imamo Isusovu molitvu u Getsemaniju i kao posljednju postaju Uskrsnuće Gospodinovo. Odlijevanje u bronzi koje je rađeno u talijanskim ljevaonicama darovali su neki talijanski industrijalci. Postaje su stigle u Međugorje u jesen 1987.god a postavljene na Križevcu u ožujku 1988.god. Penjući se na Križevac, u molitvi Križnog puta, ne možemo zaobići mjesto preminuća fra Slavka Barbarića koje se nalazi između 13.i14.postaje križnog puta. Čovjek koji je na poseban način ugradio svoj život u međugorske događaje i obilježio period prvih godina ukazanja intenzivnim življenjem molitve,posta i klanjanja pred Presvetim i snažno svjedočio o prisutnosti Božje Milosti na poseban način u ovom mjestu. "Draga djeco! I križ je bio u Božjem planu kad ste ga sagradili. Ovih dana napose idite na Brdo i molite pod križem. Potrebne su mi vaše molitve. Hvala vam što ste se odazvali mome pozivu!" – kazala je Gospa u poruci od 30. kolovoza 1984.
