Crowd surges into the land of miracles
But 2 other pilgrims die in accidents
More than 200,000 people visited the holy place yesterday
A record number of believers at this year's ceremony. Not only the eye, but also the ear felt that the sanctity of this place and God's miracles possess the soul of every human being, with different colors and languages. The Albanian-speaking world proved this in long lines until midday. I felt more strongly than ever the difficulties of organizing and the people’s great desire to be close to the saint. People pushed and embraced one another near the saint's figure. At the end of the pilgrimage, accidents were not absent either.
Prime Minister Meksi
TIRANA - The lack of medical service and traffic organization has meant that this year's pilgrimage to the holy place has been accompanied by serious consequences. At least two people have lost their lives and more than 30 have been injured during the last 24 hours. Due to the huge flow of vehicles and the lack of control, several accidents occurred on the roads leading to Laç. Sources from the police say there was chaos at the scene and the response was delayed. Meanwhile, according to witnesses, thousands of people surged toward the church of Shna Ndou from the early hours of the morning.
LAÇ - Our reporter sent to the scene describes an extraordinary atmosphere on the hill of Laç. People from all regions of the country, but also from abroad, climbed up to receive the blessing and touch the holy place. Some carried photographs of relatives, others cried and prayed aloud. In the church courtyard and the nearby alleyways there was no longer any room to pass. Street vendors, police officers, priests, children and the elderly mingled in a constant noise. Pilgrims stood for hours under the sun, but no one left without entering the church, even if only for a few moments.
