Charles Lwanga is remembered for his courage and commitment to protecting the younger pages from King Mwanga’s immoral advances. When the king ordered the execution of Christians who refused to renounce their faith, Lwanga stood firm, encouraging his companions to embrace martyrdom rather than betray their Christian beliefs. On June 3, 1886, Charles Lwanga was burned alive at Namugongo for his refusal to renounce Christianity. His leadership and bravery made him a central figure among the Uganda Martyrs and a symbol of unwavering faith.
