Pilgrimage route from Međugorje to Imotski set up within Camino project

ZAGREB,  12 April  (Hina) - About 70 Catholic believers on Friday embarked on a three-day pilgrimage on foot from the Marian shrine of Međugorje, southern Bosnia and Herzegovina, to Imotski in the hinterland of Split.

This will be a new pilgrimage route within the global Camino project promoting the El Camino de Santiago – Way of St. James walking route.

The first pilgrims on the newly-established 60-kilometre long route are mainly  Catholics from Croatia, BiH, the USA and Italy.

Their first stop after Međugorje was the Franciscan monastery at Humac, Ljubuški, BiH on Friday afternoon and the last stop is at Vinjani Donji, just outside Imotski.

The project is supported by the local clergy and Apostolic Visitor to the parish of Medjugorje, Archbishop Aldo Cavalli.

The pilgrimage route will be a new trail within the Camino network of the Way of St. James walking route.

Croatian member of the European Parliament, Željana Zovko, who is a member of an  international group for European Cultural heritage, also supported the project, adding that Camino Međugorje will contribute to the promotion of cultural tourism and economic growth.

A route for pilgrims walking on foot from Dubrovnik's St. James Monastery to the Church of St. James in Međugorje,  was presented last year in the Dubrovnik City Hall. The trail, nearly 150 kilometres long, is called Camino Dubrovnik–Međugorje.

 First pilgrims on this route are expected in May.
