A video circulating widely on social media has captured members of a church praying intensely with their faces covered in charcoal powder during a religious program.
The short clip shows congregants engaged in fervent prayer, their faces entirely smeared with a black substance believed to be charcoal. The footage, which has sparked widespread curiosity and debate online, has drawn mixed reactions from viewers.
While the reason behind the use of charcoal remains unclear, church representatives have not yet issued a statement explaining the practice. Some social media users have speculated that it may symbolize repentance, humility, or spiritual cleansing, though these interpretations have not been confirmed.
The unusual prayer session has continued to gain attention online, with many calling for clarity from church leaders regarding the symbolism or doctrine behind the act.
