On this day, May 25, 1886, Kabaka Mwanga II launched a brutal wave of persecution against Christian converts in the Buganda Kingdom. It was on this day that Denis Ssebuggwawo was executed at Munyonyo, becoming one of the first in a line of young Catholics martyred for their unwavering faith.

This tragic but powerful history paved the way for the ultimate sacrifices at Namugongo, where many martyrs were burned alive on June 3, 1886. Their courage remains a beacon of faith in Uganda and the world.
