نقلا عن الراي العام : يحي العوض و "الشتات السوداني: مفاجآت البحث عن الجذور..!"

Quote: St. Bakhita fell victim to human traffickers and was sold multiple times in the slave markets of northern Sudan. She was treated cruelly and inhumanly, scourged and tortured, in a way that left her physically scarred for life. The experience of her kidnapping and enslavement was so traumatic that she forgot her own name, and was renamed Bakhita, "the favored one," by her captors. She was eventually sold to Italians, taken to Venice, catechised, baptized, set free and became a religious sister.
