Our Lady of the Rocks, returning icon account

Overview

Medjedovic recounts the Mortesic brothers finding an icon on a sea rock. An ill brother recovers after prayer; the vanished icon returns to the same rock, prompting a vow to build an island.

The article connects the story with continuing fašinada stone-laying. Miraculous recovery is an attributed belief, not medical evidence; this is one published account.
