We visited Paternoster church, which has gardens and walls decorated with the Lord's Prayer in every (just about !) known language.
(I noticed that the word 'which' in the first line has been changed to 'who' !)
I found the Kiswahili version, and noticed that many other African languages are represented .... Fon, Afrikaans, Wollof, and so on. Couldn't find one in Dholuo though ... so here it is ...
"To un onego ulem kama; wuonwa manie polo, nyingi mondo omi luor; lochni obi, kendo dwaroni mondo otimre e piny kak timore e polo ...." (and I forget the rest).

I love it that in the crush and crowdedness of Jerusalem, the churches have walled gardens and trees around them.
