Free my soul: Urban religious rituals in El Salvador

Christian followers, members of a local religious cult, perform a ritual of the demon’s expulsion in a home church in San Salvador, El Salvador, 25 November 2018. A small community of believers gathers every week in an unmarked home church to carry out prayers of liberation, invocations and the so-called evil expulsion rites. Reciting religious formulas through very loud speakers, using manipulative verbal techniques, intimidation and intense charisma, the leading pastor commands the supposed evil spirits to depart a devotee’s mind and body which should bring to a devotee a spiritual relief.
