Villagers claim to see images of Mary and Jesus on rock

A sleepy village in Seme sub county turned into an instant tourist attraction on Monday after reports that Jesus and his mother, Mary, had been sighted. Reports of the image on a famous rock christened Kidi Achiel (loosely translated to mean one rock) in Kayila village attracted hundreds of pilgrims. 

Curiously, the image was only visible to those who paid keen attention to the rock’s rough edges. Most of the Legio Maria sect members who claimed to see it danced themselves into a trance next to the rock. But not one of them was ready to speak about the ‘revelation’, and details of the sighting were as hazy as the alleged image itself.
