Millions travel to basilica shrine for Uganda Martyrs' Day
They came by plane, by bus, and even on foot: pilgrims traveled thousands of miles to Uganda's Catholic shrine for the feast of the Uganda Martyrs, celebrated each year June 3.
Police estimated that this year’s crowd, which gathered at the Basilica of the Uganda Martyrs in Namugongo, totaled as many as 4 million. While most hail from Uganda, many came from other countries, including Malawi, Tanzania, Kenya, South Africa, Nigeria, Zimbabwe, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Japan, and the United States.
“The devotion is strong because many people have had their prayers answered through the intercession of the Uganda Martyrs,” Francis, a representative of the shrine, told CNA.
Every year, thousands of pilgrims make the trek to the shrine on foot, including 90 year-old Mzee Bernado Tibyangye, who walked for two weeks to attend the celebration this year.
“When I was young I used to pray through St. Andrew Kaggwa, one of my favorite Uganda Martyrs, and I would always ask him to intercede for me so that my faith grows stronger each day,” Mzee told the Ugandan bishops' conference.
“This year, I want to ask the Uganda Martyrs to intercede for my family for peace and provision as well as other unmarried families so that they can be able to respond to God’s calling. I also want God to heal my feet so the pain that I am feeling can stop. This healing will be a testimony to many old people so that they can start coming for this pilgrimage,” he said.
A young pilgrim in Mzee’s group told the bishops' conference that even though he was tired, he was excited to participate in the celebration.
“...God gave me courage and strength to keep walking and I know that He will surely bless me. This is my first time to come for this Namugongo pilgrimage, and I came to pray for healing because I have a problem with my eyes and legs,” said 11 year-old Crescent Tindimwebwa, who made the trek with his grandmother.
The shrine, built on the site where most of the martyrs were killed, is located about 10 miles northeast of downtown Kampala.
An aerial shot of the celebration, provided by the Ugandan bishops' conference, shows the vast crowds of pilgrims spilling out into the surrounding streets.
“This is what it looks like when more than a million people gather together to worship God,” tweeted Catholic advocate Obianuju Ekeocha.
Catholic church to build more Uganda Martyrs shrines
The catholic church has resolved to build other shrines to honour the Uganda martyrs. The major shrine is situated in Namugongo. The government has also promised to support the church in its bid to develop national martyrdom sites.
According to the church, the late Kabaka Mwanga instructed the killing of the first three martyrs at Munyonyo in 1886. The monuments of Pontiano Ngondwe, Denis Sebugwawo and Andrew Kaggwa still stand there. The church instituted a trail of the martyrs, stretching to the points where the followers met their deaths. today, students of St. Mary’s College Kisubi walked the trail of the martyrs starting from Munyonyo, the site that awaits a revamp. The other sites include churches- Nsambya and Rubaga, St. Balikudembe memorial centre in Owino market, Good Samaritan Sisters home Nalukolongo and the famous Namugongo shrine. The walk is a fundraising strategy to give all the memorial sites a human face. The college has put two million shillings into the bag, the first contribution in this years trail, launched today. Students from other schools will participate in the drive that will take two months, as a preamble to this year’s Martyrs Day Celebrations.

MUNYONYO: A little known site in the martyrs’ story
Namugongo Martyrs’s Shrines in Wakiso district are assumed to be the most important spots in the journey of martyrdom. However, hidden history suggests that the Munyonyo site could be holding a significant importance in the death of the Uganda Martyrs since it’s where Kabaka Mwanga made judgement and convicted his pages to death for treason.
