Karyn Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 THE GREATEST MEDIUM THE WORLD HAS SEEN? Have you ever heard of a medium being voted the most famous and revered person in a country? Chico Xavier (1910-2002) was. Michael Tymn writes: "Xavier, who dropped out of school at age 13, produced, by means of automatic writing, 458 books with sales in excess of 50 million. All of the royalties were donated to over 4,000 hospitals, retirement homes, soup kitchens, etc. while Xavier lived on a very modest income from his government job and pension. In 2000, a newspaper in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais asked its readers to vote for "person of the century." With more than 700,000 readers responding, Xavier won the vote over an aviation pioneer, a former president of the country, and the legendary soccer player, Pelé. More than 120,000 people lined up in a queue over two miles long to file past Xavier's coffin and 30,000 joined in the funeral procession. The state governor declared three days of mourning."
