Janan Luwum Day is observed every February 16 in Uganda to honor the contributions of Janani Luwum, the former Archbishop of the Anglican Church of Uganda. He was known for his vocal criticism of President Idi Amin's dictatorship, which led to his murder on this day. Luwum's legacy as a prominent figure in the opposition against Amin's regime has made him a significant leader in the modern church in Africa. The day serves as a public holiday to commemorate his death and is recognized as a turning point in Ugandan history. Activities typically include remembrance services and discussions about his impact on human rights and religious freedom. Luwum's statue is also featured among other twentieth-century martyrs at Westminster Abbey, further solidifying his legacy.
