The 5 Days Uganda Martyrs Pilgrimage Tour is on From 2nd June 2024 to 6th June 2024.
The canonized Uganda Martyrs were a group of young Christian and Muslim who were killed between 1885 to 1887 because they chose to defend their faith. The men were executed under the orders of the Kabaka (King) Mwanga of Buganda. The Martyrs were killed primarily because they refused to denounce Christianity as their religion. The Rev. Can. Diana Mirembe Nkesiga, the Vicar of All Saints Cathedral in Kampala, says that the purpose of people making pilgrimages to the Uganda Martyrs’ shrine is to understand the sacrifice that the martyrs made.
June 3, every year is celebrated as the Uganda Martyrs Day with Main Celebrations in Namugongo, the site where the Martyrs where killed and today we have the The Catholic Shrine and Anglican Shrines situated. This event attracts Millions of Pilgrims from across the World including Nigeria and Kenya that flock Uganda to celebrate the martyrs.
This 5 Days Uganda Martyrs Pilgrimage and Tour is mainly focused on spiritual nourishment of the Christian believers but we also incorporate excursions to other unique tourism sites like the The Kabaka’s Palace and Parliament, Source of the Nile in Jinja, The Ndere Cultural Centre and sightseeing in Kampala.
