A member of the sect of the Legio Maria (Latin for Legion of Mary) recites a sermon to attendants at the funeral for one of the founders of the church, Cardenal Wilson Oweno Obimbo, in the western Kenya town of Kisumu on April 9, 2016. Legio Maria also known as Legio Maria of African Church Mission, is an African initiated church or new religious movement popular among particularly the Luo people of western Kenya. It was initiated by repeated appearances of a mystic woman to several Roman Catholic members delivering messages on the incarnation of the son of God as a black man. / AFP / FREDRIK LERNERYD (Photo credit should read FREDRIK LERNERYD/AFP via Getty Images)
