A worshipper of the Legio Maria African Church Mission lights a candle as he attends the Christmas Eve vigil mass at St. Helena Mathare Parish in the informal settlement of Mathare in Nairobi, Kenya in the early hours of December 25, 2024. Legio Maria is an African independent religious movement among particularly the Luo people of western Kenya that developed gradually and eventually separated from the Roman Catholic Church in the 1960s. The religious movement was initiated by repeated appearances of a mystic woman delivering messages about the incarnation of the Son of God as a black man. (Photo by SIMON MAINA / AFP)
