Crowds are said to be flocking to a dam in Makueni County, a semi-arid region about 150km north of Nairobi, to see the alleged appearance of Virgin Mary and baby Jesus on a rock. Daily Nation reports that multitudes are visiting the Manooni Dam in the sleepy Katheka Village to see the impression on the rock.

According to residents, the impression of a woman carrying a child was discovered on Sunday. Women said they had not seen the impression before when fetching water from the dam.
This is not the fight time such a spectacle is happening. The “appearance” of the impression of Virgin Mary and baby Jesus to Christians is common across the world. In August 2015, crowds gathered in Ruaka, Kiambu County to witness the appearance of Mary on top of a tree, reports Tuko.co.ke. The residents said the shadow of the particular tree formed the impression of Mary.
In September 2015, the alleged appearance of Virgin Mary and baby Jesus in a window saw dozens of faithful Christians flock to a small village in Ukraine. A double-glazed window had been put up during construction of a house in Beregovoy, western Ukraine, at which point the Virgin Mary ‘appeared’ on the pane, according to the Daily Mail.
As devout Christians, locals took the image of Mary and Jesus as a sign, and began praying to the window.
