Celebration of the Feast of the Uganda Martyrs on June 3 is almost certainly among the largest annual religious gatherings in the world. Attendance estimates range from 500,000 to the low millions. The feast is a national holiday, and the full event is covered on national television. Catholic parishes and expatriate communities also have their own celebrations, but the primary events take place at Namugongo to mark the place and date when St Charles Lwanga and 12 companions were burned alive.
