Christian groups gather to march in Sao Paulo, Brazil, May 30. Disruptions likely.
Christian groups are participating in an annual march celebrating Corpus Christi Day in central Sao Paulo on May 30. Participants gathered outside Luz metro station and are marching towards Praca Herois da Forca Espedicionaria Brasileira, where concerts and celebratory events are scheduled to take place. Participants will be marching along Avenida Tiradentes and Avenida Santos Dumont.
Previous similar events have gathered thousands of participants; the rally will likely prompt a significant deployment of police and transport disruptions. The event will likely remain peaceful, but skirmishes cannot be ruled out.
