Former President Uhuru Kenyatta this morning joined Catholic faithful at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church in Nyali, Mombasa, to mark Ash Wednesday and the start of Lent.
Ash Wednesday begins the 40 day period of prayer, fasting, and reflection leading up to Easter in the Christian calendar.
Kenyatta participated in the solemn service alongside congregants, honoring the tradition of repentance and spiritual renewal.
In his goodwill message, the former President extended warm wishes to Christians starting their Lenten journey, hoping the season would be filled with prayer, reflection, and compassion.
President (Rtd) Kenyatta also wished the Muslim brothers and sisters in Kenya and around the world a blessed Ramadhan, expressing hope that this sacred period would strengthen faith, deepen compassion, and foster unity among communities.
His participation in the Ash Wednesday service and his message to Muslims highlighted the shared values of faith, discipline, and charity that define both Lent and Ramadan, reinforcing Kenya’s tradition of religious harmony and coexistence.
