The miracles and phenomena, which have been witnessed, are almost as famous as that taking place elsewhere in Medjugorje. Krizevac is a tough climb, usually attempted in the early morning or late afternoon. Stations of the Cross line the path up the mountain and give a rest respite as people stop to pray. It is probably not so much the steepness of the climb that is so daunting but the many great boulders to be scrambled up or over. The more able are always waiting to lend a hand when necessary and nobody complains if a group is held up because of the slowness of others. The top is 520 metres above sea level and commands a breathtaking view in all directions.
The cross was completed in March 1934 to commemorate the 1900th anniversary of the cross and Passion of Christ. The name Sipovac was then changed to Krizevac, which means ‘Mountain of the Cross’. You can get more informations about the location and pictures of Krizevac on Medjugorje Map
