Christian groups across Kenya will gather at All Saints Cathedral this Sunday afternoon for a special memorial service. The event honors young people who died during last year's protests against the government on June 25. Four major church organizations came together to plan this remembrance ceremony that starts at 3pm and runs until 5pm. Leaders from these groups want families and communities to heal from the pain of losing loved ones during those demonstrations.
The service carries the theme "Lest We Forget" and asks people to remember what happened exactly one year ago. Young worshippers will lead songs and prayers during the two-hour gathering at the cathedral. Church officials will read out names of people who lost their lives when police clashed with protesters who opposed new tax laws. Attendees should dress in white clothes and bring small Kenyan flags to show their unity.
Religious leaders hope this memorial will help the country move forward after a difficult period. They want to give comfort to families who are still grieving and show young Kenyans that their voices matter. The ceremony happens just three days before activists plan their annual remembrance events across the nation. Church organizers believe this service will spark important conversations about how the government treats its citizens and what role religious communities should play in politics.
