On February 22, 2021, a video featuring Redemptoristines and Redemptorists from Brazil, Dublin, and Cork participating in the Jerusalema Challenge quickly went viral after being uploaded to social media. The dance challenge had taken the internet by storm and the video’s caption encouraged people to watch, enjoy the fun, and pray for the world during these challenging times.
The group’s energy was infectious as they all moved professionally and urgently to the beat of the music, never missing a single step. But it wasn’t just the dancing that made the video entertaining. The fathers wore some pretty impressive hats, including knitted beanies, baseball caps, and fedora-style hats. And somehow, these headpieces magically stayed in place as they happily bounced along to the song. It’s hard not to wonder if some strategically placed pins were involved!
Even two fluffy dogs made guest appearances, held up by two nuns who continued to dance with their furry friends in tow. And the trio of nuns sitting and clapping along to the beat only added to the joyous atmosphere. As the song came to a close, the sisters brought out even more impressive moves, twirling around and waving their arms in the air.
Despite the song ending, everyone continued to jump excitedly, still having a blast. The video serves as a reminder of the joy that can be found in even the most challenging times. It also highlights the importance of spreading positivity and having fun, even if it means getting a little silly and busting a move. It’s no surprise that the video garnered so much attention, as it brought an instant mood boost to viewers around the worldd
