  1. Cardinal blessed the Church in BiH which is built by Muslim

    Retired Cardinal Vinko Puljic blessed the newly built Votive Church of Our Lady of the
    #Angels in #Bugojno today.

    Husein Smajic, in 2014, quite by accident discovered the foundations of a medieval
    #Catholic church from the 15th century on his property, in the locality of #Crkvina, in which a female skeleton wrapped in gilded cloth was found, which historians suspect to be #Bosnian #Queen Jelena Gruba.

    In agreement with
    #Cardinal #Puljic, it was decided to build an identical church near this archaeological site, which he announced would be a church of peace, reconciliation and respect.

    The church was built by Smajic with his own money, but also with donations.

    About a thousand people from all parts of
    #Bosnia and #Herzegovina, as well as the diaspora, attended the blessing of the #church.
