RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL - JULY 25: Marilena Mattos, known as Mother Marilena, wears a protective mask while prepares a bed for spiritual sessions at the center of Umbanda Casa de Cláudia in the Sao Joao de Meriti neighborhood on July 25, 2020 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The religious center, founded by Marilena's father 49 years ago, had to interrupt the sessions that received approximately 500 people each weekend due to the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) in Brazil. Marilena continues to regularly attend the center for administrative work and distribution of basic food baskets to needy families. The spiritual currents are being made online by her and a team of mediums. (Photo by Andre Coelho/Getty Images)
