December 27, 1982 – Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje
Today the statue of the Queen of Peace was finished. It was sculptured by Vipotnik, a sculptor from Slovenia, and painted by Luka Stojaknac, and Florijan Mickovic, who wanted to maintain anonymity. This statue has been a source of grace for Luka, who is Orthodox. The Visionaries ask: May we put the statue in church? “Yes, you may!” It is this statue which had been venerated for a long time in the nave. It was removed from there on orders from the bishop on March 25th, 1985. It then found itself consigned to the small chapel of the apparitions. (Monday, December 27, 1982)
