St. Charles Lwanga was a page and later Majordomo for King Mwanga II. The King resisted the Christian missionaries. Charles and twenty-one of his companions were put to death on June 3, 1886. As he was being burned to death he told his executioner: “It is as if you are pouring water on me. Please repent and become a Christian like me.”
