The Vatican issued a long-awaited note on the alleged apparitions at Medjugorje, in Bosnia and Herzegovina, a popular pilgrimage site for the faithful since the 1980s.

The Vatican on Thursday issued a statement acknowledging that spiritual 'fruits' had come from the site of controversial purported apparitions of the Virgin Mary — while also stopping short of saying these apparitions were supernatural in origin. In June 1981, a group of six young people in Medjugorje, a town in what is now Bosnia and Herzegovina, claimed to have experienced a vision of the Virgin Mary, the Associated Press reported.

Consequently, when referring to 'messages' from Our Lady, one should always bear in mind that they are 'alleged messages,'' the note added. The Associated Press contributed reporting.
