THE COUNTRY THAT SAVED ITSELF - Brazil 1962 - In 1962 there was a looming

threat of communist takeover in Brazil. A woman there named Dona Amelia

Bastos was known to have formed a Rosary rally among the Brazilian women

there to do their part in opposing the looming threat. Their goal was

simply to pray the Rosary in large groups asking the Virgin Mary for help

in opposing the Communist takeover which the President of Brazil was

leaning toward at the time. In Belo Horizonte 20,000 women reciting the

rosary aloud broke up a Communist rally. In Sao Paulo, 600,000 women

praying the rosary in one of the most moving demonstrations in Brazilian

history, caused the President of Brazil to flee the country and not a

single death was encountered, sparing the country from Communist takeover.
