Hundreds of pilgrims from Rwanda, led by the **Rwanda Episcopal Conference**, have arrived in **Namugongo, Uganda**, to take part in the **Uganda Martyrs Day** celebrations. Every year on **June 3rd**, Christians from across the world gather to honor the Uganda Martyrs, a group of converts who were executed in the late 19th century for their faith.

The Rwanda Episcopal Conference has organized and guided the Rwandan delegation, ensuring a meaningful and spiritually uplifting experience for all pilgrims. Many have traveled long distances, some even on foot, as a testament to their devotion.

This year’s celebrations are being led by the **Lugazi Catholic Diocese**, under the **Uganda Episcopal Conference**, with the theme: *“Lord, let me see again, I, your Pilgrim of Hope.”* The event includes moments of **prayer, reflection, and a special mass**, bringing together thousands of faithful.

The participation of Rwandan pilgrims underscores the strong religious ties between **Uganda and Rwanda**, reflecting a shared Christian heritage and commitment. Alongside the spiritual celebrations, pilgrims will also engage in **community outreach and personal renewal**, making the experience even more profound.

The Uganda Martyrs Day remains an important religious occasion, drawing believers from across East Africa and beyond, reaffirming faith and unity in the region.
