Period of Different Culutures   by Alisa Lovic

If we were to judge by the caves existing in the area of Brotnjo as well as in the parish of Medjugorje, we can't absolutely exclude the chance of habitation as far back as the older Stone Age period. From the later Stone Age period, there's material evidence of the existence of a pre-Illyrian culture and civilisation in the area. In the older Bronze Age, there's proof of Illyrian tribes. Copper objects found in the area are evidence of a radical lifestyle . Some walled settlements on the higher points, supposed "gradine" ( castle ruins ), which were either circular or square in shape, date from this period.he papers on the gravestones testify that Roman legions and cohorts were situated in the area, and that Roman veteran soldiers lived there. There remain some pieces of a road from the time of the Romans, constructed in the 3rd century. He most serious archaeological site from the Roman time is to be found in the Catholic cemetery in Miletina, where some vestiges of buildings made from Roman bricks have been uncovered nevertheless it has not been adequately inspected.
At the end of the 6th century, Croatians started to create themselves in these regions. The area of Brotnjo represented a tribal political-territorial unit, a district, with a tribal regional chief, a district prefect. Up to the twelfth century, this area was Glagolitic. The famous Plaque of Humac testifies to this. In the second half the 12th century a sort of the Cyrillic alphabet called Bosancica prevailed. In the area of Brotnjo, not one mediaeval Latin inscription is to be found, only Croatian inscriptions written in Bosancica.
Bosnia and Herzegovina fell under Turkish power in the year 1463. The Turkish attackers wanted to occupy all of Croatia too, to reach Vienna and Rome, and likewise further west. Not only were plenty of Croatian lives lost in constant warfare, but the central bit of Croatia - its heart - was also took away : Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The life of the Catholics under Turkish rule was consistently exposed to the forced passage into Islam, to oppression and to persecution. Under the Turkish feudal system, no Croatian could possess anything immovable. Catholics were permanently considered as enemies of the state, because their head was in enemy territory : Rome.
The affairs of the Franciscans in these areas from the time of their arrival had a major influence on the survival of Croatians under cultural, religious and each other aspect. The Franciscans emerged in Croatian regions in the first decades of the thirtheenth century. During all the time of the Turkish occupation ( 1463 to 1878 ), the Franciscans were the only ones who inclined to the religious desires of the Croatian Catholics in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and their only members and defenders in front of the Turkish administration.
The first Franciscan Province to be set up in the region of Bosnia and Herzegovina was the Bosnian Franciscan Province. In 1852, the Herzegovinian Custody was established, and in 1892 the Herzegovinian Franciscan province was founded, members of which serve today in the parish of Medjugorje.
