'The Snake Church' exhibited in Paris, France | Cyril Abad

 

On a trip to the United States in 2019, Cyril meets Chris, a former carpenter who became a Pentecostal minister and holds a snake-handling service at his small church deep in a mountain valley in West Virginia. During these services, to show his power over demons, he handles snakes, dances with them, and sometimes even tramples them.
The series 'The Snake Church' by photographer Cyril Abad tells this story.

The exhibition is open until 4 January at the Maison des Photographes,
11 rue de Belzunce, 75010, Paris - France.
