In Medjugorje a few years ago saw Jakov by himself like any normal pilgrim at the side of Saint James' Church with his beads saying the rosary during the evening prayer program. Seemed to show there was an authenticity about it all. There is a real grassroots Faith in Medjugorje and also a remarkable respect for Priests and Religious among the pilgrims and locals. That was one thing that stuck out the most going there- the respect for Religious. Priests are nearly like celebrities there!
