2,027,900 Holy Communions would be sufficient if all the inhabitants of Houston, Texas, were to get the Body of Christ one time each. Yet the number doesn't result from Houston, but from Medjugorje where more than 2,000,000 distributed Holy Communions in one year was registred for the 1st time in 2011.

The number climbed from 1,571,800, a rise of 29 % matched against 2010 which was itself a record year. 1,378,600 Holy Communions were distributed in Medjugorje in 2009, according to parish stats.

A record number of monks handed out the more than two million Holy Communions. 41,094 concelebrations of Mass were registred in Medjugorje in 2011, up from 38,227 the year before. The figures aren't detailed of the actual number of visiting clergymen, as most concelebrate more than one Mass during their stay in Medjugorje.

The current Medjugorje boom in Italy accounts for some of the progress, though not all of it. 8,171 Italian concelebrations occurred in 2011, up from 7,270 the year before and 4,718 in 2009.

Medjugorje is one of the towns of the Western Herzegovina municipality of Citluk in the former Yugoslavia. The name Medjugorje is Slavic and means "area between 2 moutains". This real life story takes place in the Bijakovici section of Medjugorje. On the afternoon of June 24, 1981, two girls, Ivanka Ivankovic, age 15, and Mirjana Dragicevic, age 16, were returning home from a walk. Looking toward the hill called Crnica, Ivanka saw a bright silhouette of a woman. She revealed to Mirjana, "It is the Gospa!" ( Our Woman ).

On June 25, the 2 girls returned to the hill with 4 others. Their names are, Vicka Ivankovic, age sixteen, Ivan Dragivevic, age 16, Maria Pavlovic, age 16 and Jakov Colo, age ten. A figure in white was calling them to come up the hill. The youngsters were somehow transported in some confusing way to a gorgeous Lady who calls herself, the Queen of Peace. The Woman gives messages to the seers for the whole world. To date, the Queen of Peace has left thousands of messages. At first, the messages were almost daily. Now, for the previous a few years, they come on the 25th of every month.

The idealists describe Our Lady as pretty beyond words ; radiant with holiness. Her talks with the children have taken the type of motherly sensitiveness and love, and she has taken the role of both ma and catechist in advising and directing their lives. She greets them with, "Praised be Jesus, my dear children." At the end of the apparition she asserts, "Go in peace, my dear children." She appears to the six visionaries as a three-dimensional real image and always appears among brilliant flashes of light. Her appearances generally occur about 6:40 pm every day. In Medjugorje, crowds of people come daily at this time to take part in the event with prayer, song, the rosary and the Mass, which is often concelebrated by 30 or more monks. The whole evening service lasts about 3 hours. And this has been happening daily since 1981! - as reported tagza.com
