A Roman Catholic priest celebrating an evening Mass in southwestern Ecuador has died after a crucifix fell on him during the livestreamed service.
The Archdiocese of Guayaquil, a coastal city 265 kilometers (164 miles) southwest of the capital, Quito, identified the priest as Patricio Sánchez of Perpetuo Socorro Church.
Footage of the service on Saturday night shows a heavy crucifix detaching from the wall above the altar and striking Sánchez on the head as he celebrated Mass. He did not appear to see it falling.
And steel-toed boots, protective gloves, safety goggles, etc. When going through old books in the cellar, you need to wear a dust mask as well.
Honestly, probably not a bad idea. Whatever is in that old dust probably isn’t good for your lungs.
