A six-metre bronze of the risen Christ stands behind St. James' Church, his arms raised in blessing. The figure is striking on its own, but the reason most pilgrims stop here is the steady liquid that seeps from the right knee.
The phenomenon has been observed since the early 2000s and continues without explanation. Pilgrims queue to touch and collect a few drops on cloths and prayer cards, and the patch beneath the statue is usually wet. Whatever the cause, the steady drip has become one of the most-visited spots of any pilgrimage to Medjugorje.
