🕊️ Honoring the Uganda Martyrs: A Journey of Faith, Courage, and Sacrifice

At Trip Car Rental Uganda, we pause to commemorate Uganda Martyrs Day (June 3rd) – a profound testament to faith that resonates across continents. On this sacred day, we honor 22 Catholic and 23 Anglican martyrs who bravely chose faith over fear in 1886 under Kabaka Mwanga II’s reign. Their legacy of resilience continues to inspire millions worldwide.

To all Christians observing this holy day:

“May the courage of St. Charles Lwanga and his companions renew your spirit. Mukama Yebazibwe! (Praise God!)”
