Marian devotion
Our Lady of Lourdes in Kenya
Nakuru, Kenia
The French missionaries brought devotion to Lourdes to the Great Rift Valley region.
Country: Nakuru, Kenia
Type: Advocation / Apparition
In Nakuru, Catholics venerate the Virgin of Lourdes in a chapel built next to a lake. The faithful believe that the lake water has healing properties, similar to the Lourdes spring.
The elders of the village say that the Virgin appeared on the waters of Lake Nakuru to protect the Masai peoples from a terrible drought. Since then, the lake has never dried.
The Virgin of Lourdes brings water and life to the dry land.
