On the Calendar of the liturgy of the Catholic Church we remember and celebrates today February 8th Josephine Bakhita, a former slave who as a child was sold by her kidnappers to Arab slave traders. Josephine Bakhita was born in the village of Olgossa in the Darfur region of Sudan.

Like the migrants from Sub-Sahara Africa her journey to Italy took her through the Red Sea, and the Mediterranean.
