Residents of Nangoma village in the Matayos constituency in Busia County are reeling in shock after...get this...a woman claimed to be the real Mary, Mother of Jesus.
Judith Nafula, a devout Catholic in the village, declared herself to be the Holy Mother after claiming that she received the Holy Spirit.
“A light came down from heaven, and in the middle of it was Jesus. He spoke to me, asking me where Mother Mary was and that he had been sent by his father, God,” Nafula claimed during an interview with journalists.
“I responded to him, saying I did not know who Mother Mary was. He revealed that it was me and that it was high time people found out my true identity."
Nafula shared that after the encounter, she was guided to a nearby hill, where she lived for two months, communicating with the Holy Spirit.

In an unexpected turn, her husband, John Wekullo, said he had a similar vision and believed he was revealed to be Joseph, the biblical husband of Mary.
Nafula also claimed she was granted the power to perform miracles—a claim that did not sit well with her local church, which ultimately cut ties with her. “They started saying that I was a mad person, that I had lost my mind, and they threw me out of the church,” she narrated.
Still, the unusual events caught the attention of locals and people from nearby areas, who began visiting her home in large numbers seeking prayers and blessings. Her relatives say Nafula’s following has grown rapidly, with some even backing her claims of performing miracles.
“People have started knowing her and admitting to her ability to perform miracles. We are seeing people coming back; those who could not conceive have been able to conceive, and the sick have been healed,” noted Nafula’s sister in law.
There have been previous instances of individuals claiming to be divine figures like God or Jesus, but most Kenyans have brushed off these claims, often labelling them as blasphemous.
Notably, in the Bible, Jesus Christ was accused of blasphemy, and it was one of the central charges that led to his crucifixion. According to the Gospels in the New Testament, the Jewish religious leaders of the time, particularly the Pharisees and the high priests, were deeply disturbed by Jesus' teachings, miracles, and the authority with which he spoke. What especially provoked them was his claim to be the Son of God and his frequent statements implying equality with God, which in their eyes violated the strict monotheism of Jewish law.
One of the clearest instances of this accusation occurs during his trial before the Sanhedrin, the Jewish ruling council. In the Gospel of Matthew (26:63-65), when the high priest asks Jesus directly if he is the Messiah, the Son of God, Jesus affirms it and references prophetic scripture, saying they will see the "Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power."
This statement was interpreted as a direct claim to divine status. The high priest then tore his clothes in dramatic protest and declared, “He has spoken blasphemy!” The penalty for blasphemy under Jewish law was death, and although the Sanhedrin did not have the authority to execute, they brought Jesus before the Roman governor Pontius Pilate, accusing him of claiming kingship and stirring unrest—charges that carried political weight under Roman rule.
