Pope Francis has urged Ugandans to honour their martyrs every day by caring for others.
The Pope made the appeal at a Mass outside the country’s Catholic shrine to the martyrs.
On Saturday he visited the Anglican shrine and museum located on the site where many of the 45 martyrs died. The main exhibit features statues of men being tortured, bound and thrown on a fire.
Francis had a look of shock on his face as Anglican Archbishop Stanley Ntagali explained how the 22 Catholic and 23 Anglican martyrs were executed on the orders of King Mwanga II in the late 1800s.
