Description
People queue to receive free fish traditionally donated by businessman Afonso Teixeira on Good Friday, in the Brazilian town of Belo Horizonte. For 30 years, Teixeira has been donating fish inspired by the miracle of the multiplication of food attributed to Jesus Christ, with queues starting to form the day before the distribution. Christians abstain from eating meat on Good Friday to honour the death of Jesus and choose to eat fish instead. Teixeira does not reveal the number of fish donated, each person receives a package with two kilos of food. "To be honest, if it wasn't for this fish, I wouldn't even have an egg today," says unemployed woman Monica Kivia dos Santos. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
