Sacred Nation holiday special

The World
Hundreds of women turned out for a rally in support of incumbent President Jair Bolsonaro at the More of Christ church in Florianopolis, Brazil.

In this holiday special, The World brings you Sacred Nation stories that focus on how religion impacted people’s lives this year around the globe. An Iraqi Muslim has been helping to preserve Mosul’s Jewish history. Afro Brazilians fear attacks as evangelism grows in Brazil. An ally of Viktor Orban discusses the shifting ideologies of his political career. And a cult in Japan tries to recruit believers in the United States.
