A preacher from Mozambique passed away after fasting for 40 days in an effort to imitate what the Bible claims Jesus Christ did.
On Wednesday, it was officially announced that Francisco Barajah, the founder and pastor of the Santa Trindade Evangelical Church in Manica's central region, had passed away.
He was sent in critical condition to a hospital in Beira, where he passed away while receiving medical care.
He had dropped so much weight after 25 days of fasting that he was unable to move, stand up, or even take a bath.
Days later, he was transferred to a hospital at the urging of family members and believers, but efforts to revive him were fruitless.
Believers at his church and his neighbours have been unsurprised at the turn of events, due to his extreme weight loss and disfigured body frame in recent days.
