TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY CALIN NEACSU Catholic pilgrims gather to attend an outside mass near the Franciscan church in the southern Bosnian village of Medjugorje, on May 30, 2015. Almost one million people visit Medjugorje each year, a place where the Virgin Mary is said to have appeared to six children in 1981, and that decades on has become a huge pilgrimage site. As the visit of Pope Francis to Sarajevo on June 6, 2015 is nearing, Catholic believers pouring into the small village of Medjugorje would like that he recognises the Virgin's controversial 'appearance'.
