This statue depicts the Virgin Mary, who in Christian tradition is the mother of Jesus Christ, God incarnate. Mary has a special role for Catholics, and this statue stands outside the parish school of St. Jerome Croatian Catholic Church.
The name "Our Lady of Medjugorje" is given to a vision of the Virgin Mary that appeared to six teenagers in Medjugorje, Bosnia and Herzegovina, in 1981. A detailed description of that apparition can be found on Wikipedia: (
