A huge rally with 3 million evangelical Protestants has taken place this week in Sao Paulo, Brazil, the country’s biggest city.

The gathering revealed the growing influence of the Protestant Church in the world’s largest Roman Catholic country.

Christian music was played, and thousands wore T-shirts in the nation’s famous green and yellow colours, as marchers looked to advertise their yearly ‘March for Jesus’ campaign.As the rally went on, evangelicals sung hymns and gathered at Agenda Palest, which is Sao Paulo’s financial centre.

The rally proved a great success, as the crowd was estimated by police to be up to 3 million people, which is double that of the 2005 rally.

The day has become a massive religious day in Brazil, as the Catholic Church celebrates the Corpus Christi holiday, and the evangelical Protestants take part in the march. the rest
