A Catholic priest stood at the altar of his church in Guayaquil, Ecuador, while livestreaming a Mass from his personal social media accounts, reports the Daily Mail. Father Patricio Alfredo Sánchez Molinari read from a liturgical book as the service went on. Behind him, a large wooden crucifix hung high on the wall above a painted mural.
The crucifix suddenly came loose during the reading, according to reports. It tilted forward and fell straight down, striking him on the head and knocking him behind the altar and out of view. The fall reportedly took place about 27 minutes into the stream, which ended soon afterward.
