Thousands of pilgrims yesterday flocked to both the Catholic and Anglican shrines at Namugongo, near Kampala, to mark the Martyrs day.
Every June 3, Christians of the two denominations in the region and the rest of Africa pay homage to the 45 Martyrs, who were killed by Buganda King Muwanga II in 1884, for converting to Christianity.
This year’s celebrations at the Catholic shrine were organised by Arua diocese with the Diocesan Bishop Sabino Odoki as the main celebrant.
There was excitement as Christians from Arua diocese carried a Bible in a ‘mobile’ granary amid singing.
They said this signified the word of God, which is food to Christians.
