Real preachin

I am surprised.  I thought Brazil would not have so many.


I thought a lot of the Brazilians practised the African religion Candomble and then the pentecostal folks also made an inroad.

Just the new modern Wonder of the World is :

The Redeemer in Brazil 

                             

India got the Taj Mahal ....but is that really a Hindu Icon ?
