Six witnesses had to confirm whether the special wax seals had been tampered with and after the casket was removed from the tomb like box, they went round the wooden casket confirming and counterchecking whether they were intact. And all, starting with Archbishop Kairu confirmed the seals were intact. Jubilation and ululation from Catholic Faithful who had flocked in to witness the event after attending a mass at the same venue filled the Mathari Old Chapel, confirming the beatification ceremony had started. “We are really happy and excited that our prayer and wish has come true. We now hope another miracle will be realized soon so that Sister Irene can be declared a saint,” said Fr Mutahi. Before removing the casket, Archbishop Kairu blessed the dais at Dedan Kimathi grounds where the main ceremony will be conducted on Saturday. The journey to sainthoodHutia Mundu!!

It's a rigorous process....DN says there is even a devils' advocate to critic the proposed saints looking for tiny mistakes

It's about Sister Irene Stefani Nyaatha, @Swenani. Please be positive. The Catholics are celebrating a person who touched other people lives. A missionary who sacrificed her life for Christ. It's a big moment for Catholics. Democracy does not belong to the dead

I know that,being positive doesnt necessarily mean you do not ask question. Is it necessary to exhume bodies to celebrate a persons life?,If my folks from Eshimalavandu village did they same,we would be branded witches If Obiero did it, Who Am I?

Live and let live. If those affected are okay with it and it doesn't affect you, why not? Democracy does not belong to the dead

We were watching news with one of my fish when she made this quote "isnt this some form of ushirikina?" i was unable to answer her. Politics is just things to keep the people divided and foolish and put your trust in men and none of them can do nothing for you...
