Balneario Camboriu, on the north coast of Santa Catarina, will host the March of Jesus next Saturday (25th). President Jair Bolsonaro (PL) confirmed his presence at the event, which was originally scheduled for July 2 but was rescheduled due to the presidential agenda.

Expected to draw around 50,000 people, the event’s program will revolve around the presidential agenda, so it has yet to be confirmed.

The 2020 law made this event official on the municipality’s calendar. According to the law, public places should be a priority for the event.

The March for Jesus is an international event that arrived in Brazil in the 1990s and has been part of the country’s official calendar since 2009. The organization considers it “the largest open-air Christian event in the world.”

“The march is a uniting of people, fellowship of all who believe in Jesus Christ. He is our Redeemer, for he gave his life for us on the cross. We took to the streets to march and honor this delivery by expressing our faith,” says Apostle Estevam Hernandez, President of the event in Brazil.

Bolsonaro will take part in the March of Jesus in Balneario Camboriu on Saturday (25). The President’s arrival time in Santa Catarina will only be confirmed within a week. There was an opportunity to organize a “motorcycle”, but because of the tight deadlines for the organization, it was abandoned. There is the possibility of a water scooter.
