Another mass Baptism was celebrated in Kenya over the weekend, with dozens of people being united to Christ.

On Saturday, 46 people from the district of Kisii in Kenya were baptized at the parish of the Apostle Peter in Gesonso, reports the African Exarchate of the Moscow Patriarchate.

The Sacrament was celebrated by four priests.

The newly illumined became interested in Holy Orthodoxy through the weekly charity dinners held at the church. When they approached Fr. Hermogenes Otara, he introduced them to the Nicene Creed, answered their questions, and gave them material on the history of the Church.

A week later, they began to come for catechism, and after several weeks of intensive preparation, they were baptized into Christ.
