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.
