Led by Fr. Celestin Bikorwomuhangyi the Assistant Parish Priest of Makiro catholic parish, the procession symbolized a collective journey of endurance and redemption.

The sight of Christians from various walks of life coming together to bear the weight of the cross served as a powerful symbol of unity and solidarity in faith. As they marched forward, they shared in a collective reflection the significance of Christ’s sacrifice and the hope it offers for salvation.
Fr. Celestin Bikorwomuhangyi’s words echoed in the hearts of all who participated, reminding them of the transformative power of faith and the promise of eternal life for those who endure faithfully.
