Statue of the Risen Jesus Christ

The Statue of the Risen Christ is one of the most distinctive and most visited places in Međugorje, known for its powerful symbolism and unique phenomenon. Located behind St. James Church, this bronze statue depicts the risen Christ at the moment of victory over death, inviting visitors to reflect on faith, hope, and new life.

Particular attention is drawn to the fact that drops of liquid often appear on the statue's right knee, which many pilgrims see as a symbol of spiritual grace. For this reason, many visitors approach the statue in silence, touch it, and remain in prayer, seeking peace and inner strength.

Surrounded by peaceful greenery and benches for resting, this area offers the perfect place for silence and contemplation. Regardless of religious affiliation, the Statue of the Risen Christ leaves a strong impression and represents one of the most moving experiences Međugorje has to offer.
