Residents of Gomba District are grappling with shock and amazement following the birth of a baby boy reportedly clutching a religious medal in his hand—an unusual incident that has sparked intense curiosity, debate, and excitement across the area.
The birth occurred in Saali village, where 30-year-old Sylvia Nakalanzi gave birth to a baby boy who has since become the centre of attention.
Witnesses claim the newborn was born holding a Saint Anthony of Padua medal, a Catholic devotional item depicting Saint Anthony cradling the infant Jesus.
Some residents have even nicknamed the baby “Jesus,” citing what they believe are extraordinary signs surrounding his arrival.
According to the parents and eyewitnesses, the medal was present at birth and bears a detailed image of Saint Anthony holding the infant Jesus. Observers also claim the newborn appears unusually developed for his age, with facial features and a body size resembling that of a one-month-old baby, despite having been born just hours earlier. END
