“We were shocked. . . We realized that we were still alive.”
On August 6, 1981, the word MIR (the Croatian word for Peace) appeared written in the sky and was witnessed by many people.
During the Apparition on that day Our Lady gave Her title for the first time, saying: “I am the Queen of Peace.”

Suddenly, I saw, high in the sky, like a band of blue color on which were big letters. Then I was seized with a great fear. Two students were close by, Ivan Prlic and Marijana Zubac. I cried: ‘Children, do you see some letters in the sky?’ ‘We see them,’ said the children with amazement…
