Hundreds of believers from the Ethiopian and Eritrean Orthodox communities in Uganda gathered today at the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church in Bunga Soya, Kampala, to celebrate Meskel—the Finding of the True Cross. The annual celebration commemorates the ancient 4th-century tradition of Saint Helena, Mother of Emperor Constantine the Great, who discovered the True Cross of Jesus Christ in Jerusalem. The colorful event featured traditional chants, intricate religious vestments, and the ceremonial lighting of the Demera (a large bonfire), symbolizing the smoke that guided Saint Helena to the location of the sacred relic. #MonitorUpdates 📹 @GeofreyMutumba2 PHOTOS👉: onelinksnap.com/YdF33H
