Basilika der Märtyrer von Uganda (Namugongo)

Die Basilika der Märtyrer von Uganda ist eine römisch-katholische Kirche im Wallfahrtsort Namugongo nordöstlich von Kampala, Uganda. Die zum Erzbistum Kampala gehörende Kirche ist den Märtyrern von Uganda gewidmet und trägt den Titel einer Basilica minor. Märtyrerstätte Der Ort Namugongo war früher die Richtstätte des Königreichs Buganda für schwere Vergehen. 1886 wurden hier 14 der 22 Uganda-Märtyrer um den Heiligen Karl Lwanga auf Befehl des Königs Mwanga lebendig verbrannt, weil sie sich geweigert hatten, ihrem christlichen Glauben abzuschwören. Am 6. Juni 1920 sprach Papst Benedikt XV. die Uganda-Märtyrer selig, am 8. Oktober 1964 wurden sie durch Papst Paul VI. heiliggesprochen. Er ehrte die Märtyrer am 2. August 1969 mit einer Pilgerreise, dem ersten Besuch eines Papstes auf dem afrikanischen Kontinent. Weiterhin zählt die Anglikanische Kirche hier 23 Märtyrer aus der gleichen Zeit. Basilika Im Jahre 1935 gründeten die Mill-Hill-Missionare an der Märtyrerstätte eine katholische Gemeinde mit einer kleinen Pfarrkirche. An deren Stelle wurde das heutige Heiligtum nach Plänen des Schweizer Architekten Justus Dahinden errichtet. Ausführender Bauingenieur war das Schweizer Büro Stucki + Hofacker. Die Rotunde mit einem Durchmesser von 30 Metern und 22 Säulen hat die Form einer afrikanischen Hütte. Die hölzernen Türen zeigen die Geschichte der Märtyrer. Die Kirche bietet mit ihrem kreisförmig angeordneten Gestühl etwa 1000 Gläubigen Platz.

Februar 1993 bei seinem sechstägigen Besuch in Uganda eine Wallfahrt nach Namugongo machte, erhob er das Heiligtum in den Rang einer Basilica minor. Auf seiner Afrikareise 2015 feierte Papst Franziskus hier eine Messe.

Basilica of the Uganda Martyrs, Namugongo

The Basilica of the Uganda Martyrs, Namugongo is a Latin Catholic minor basilica dedicated to the Ugandan Martyrs. Location The basilica is located at Namugongo, Kira Municipality, Wakiso District, in Central Uganda. Namugongo Basilica is located approximately 17.5 kilometres (11 mi), by road, northeast of the central business district of Kampala, Uganda's capital and largest city in that East African country. History The Namugongo Shrines were first recognised by the late Joshua Serufusa-Zake (1884–25 June 1985) when he was the Sabaddu of Kira Sub-County (1827–1928). Joshua Serufusa-Zake constructed a structure at the Namugongo site, where it appears shrines were built later for prayer. His interest in Christianity was enhanced by his father's participation in the wars that brought Christianity to Uganda. Joshua Serufusa-Zake's father, Semei Musoke Seruma Katiginya had earned a name for brevity 'Ngubu' from the wars. It might be of interest to note that Joshua Serufusa-Zake was born in 1884, just a year before the killings of Uganda Martyrs started. Overview Groundbreaking for the construction of the basilica was in 1965. Construction was completed in 1968. The basilica was decreed on 28 April 1993, and is administered by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Kampala. It is built close to the spot where Saint Charles Lwanga and Saint Kizito were burned to death in 1886 on the orders of Kabaka Mukasa Basammul'ekkere Mwanga II. Recent events 2014 marked fifty years since the Uganda Martyrs were canonized and elevated to Sainthood by Pope Paul VI on 18 October 1964. The occasion was marked by a memorial Mass at the Basilica and Pope Francis was expected to be the main celebrant. Although the Pope did not visit in 2014, he made the visit to Uganda in November 2015, and celebrated Mass outside the basilica at Namugongo, on Saturday 28 November 2015.

A Basílica dos Mártires de Uganda é uma basílica menor católica romana, localizada em Namugongo, dedicada aos Mártires de Uganda. Localização A basílica está localizada em Namugongo, município de Quira, distrito de Wakiso, no centro de Uganda. Namugongo está localizado a aproximadamente 14 km (9 mi), por estrada, a nordeste do distrito comercial central de Campala, capital de Uganda e maior cidade daquele país da África Oriental. História Os santuários de Namugongo foram reconhecidos pela primeira vez pelo falecido Josué Serufusa-Zaque (1884 - 25 de junho de 1985) quando ele era o Sabadu do subcondado de Quira (1827 - 1928). Joshua Serufusa-Zake construiu uma estrutura no local de Namugongo, onde parece que os santuários foram construídos posteriormente para a oração. Seu interesse pelo cristianismo aumentou com a participação de seu pai nas guerras que trouxeram o cristianismo a Uganda. O pai de Joshua Serufusa-Zake, Semei Musoke Seruma Katiginya, ganhou o nome de 'Ngubu' por causa das guerras. Pode ser interessante notar que Joshua Serufusa-Zake nasceu em 1884, apenas um ano antes do início das matanças dos mártires de Uganda. Visão geral A inovação para a construção da basílica foi em 1965. A construção foi concluída em 1968. A basílica foi decretada em 28 de abril de 1993 e é administrada pela Arquidiocese Católica Romana de Campala. É construído perto do local onde São Carlos Luanga e São Quizito foram queimados até a morte em 1886 por ordem de Muanga II. Eventos recentes 2014 marcou cinquenta anos desde que os mártires de Uganda foram canonizados e elevados à santidade pelo Papa Paulo VI em 18 de outubro de 1964. A ocasião foi marcada por uma Missa em memória na Basílica e esperava-se que o Papa Francisco fosse o celebrante principal. Embora o Papa não tenha visitado em 2014, ele fez a visita a Uganda em novembro de 2015, e celebrou a Missa fora da basílica de Namugongo, no sábado, 28 de novembro de 2015.

Базилика угандийских мучеников (Намугонго)

Базилика Мучеников Угандийских — римско-католический храм, расположенный в посёлке Намугонго, округ Вакисо, Центральная область Уганды, в 15 километрах к северо-востоку от центра столицы восточноафриканской республики города Кампала (архиепархия Кампалы). Национальный исторический памятник. Малая базилика. Церковь была основана в 1965 году как усыпальница Святых Мучеников Угандийских на месте казни двух из них — Святого Карла Лванги и Святого Кизито, сожжённых заживо в 1886 году по приказу короля (кабаки) Буганды Мванги II. Строительство церкви по проекту Цюрихского архитектора Юстуса Дахиндена было завершено в 1968 году. Каждый год, в День Мучеников 3 июня, в церкви проводится торжественная месса в память двадцати двух угандийских мучеников, в которой принимают участие католики не только из Уганды, но со всей Восточной Африки, а также последователи англиканства. 28 апреля 1993 года папой Иоанном Павлом II церкви Мучеников Угандийских был присвоен почётный статус малой базилики, второй и последней по времени в Уганде. 28 ноября 2014 года, в год 50-летия канонизации Святых Мучеников Уганды, папа римский Франциск отслужил в храме мессу, по окончании которой благословил паству совместно с примасом англиканской церкви.

Базилика Мученика Угандских

Базилика Мученика Угандских (енг. Barsilica of the Uganda Martyrs) је римокатоличка црква посвећена угандским мученицима. Локација Базилика се налази у Намугонгу, у општини Кира у дистрикту Вакисо у Централној Уганди. Намугонго се налази на око 15 километара североисточно од главног града Кампале. Историја Намугонгшки мученици су први пут помињани од стране покојног Џошуа Серуфуса-Заке (1884 - 1985). Џошуа је изградио базилику на месту где су била светилишта за молитву. Његово интересовање за хришћанство је било појачано учешћем свога оца у ратовима који су довели хришћанство у Уганду. Џошуов отац, Семеј Мусоке Серума Катигинија је из ратова стекао надимак „Нгубу“, што може бити од интереса јер је Џошуа рођен 1884. године, само годину дана после убиства угандских мученика. Преглед Изградња базилике је почела 1965. године, а изградња је завршена 1968. године. Базилика је седиште Римокатоличке архиепископије Кампала. Изграђена је у близини места где су изгорели Свети Луис Лванга и Свети Кизито 1886. године по наређењу Кабака Мукаса Басамулекере Мванга II.
