In a quiet Nangoma village in Matayos Sub-County, in Teso, Busia County, a woman has stirred both devotion and debate by declaring herself the reincarnated Mary, mother of Jesus Christ and that her husband is Joseph.
The 50-year-old woman, whose official name is Judith Nafula, a mother of five, claims that she received divine visions whereby the Holy Spirit, in the form of a radiant light, pronounced her the modern-day Mary, mother of Jesus. "I was chosen by the Holy Spirit.
A bright light appeared before me and I heard a voice clearly saying to me that I am Mary, and my husband is Joseph," said Nafula.
Her husband, John Wekulo, has doubled down on her claims, saying he too was declared to be Joseph by divine revelation. "Since that day, my wife moved out of our bedroom and began living in the sitting room, as per divine instruction," said Wekulo.
