The 116-year-old Brazilian nun has been identified as the oldest living person in the world.
After a Japanese woman passed away on December 29, Sister Inah Canabarro, who was born on June 8, 1908, became the oldest person in the world.
According to LongeviQuest, a global organization that monitors supercentenarians, early life records have confirmed the wheelchair-bound nun’s accomplishment.
She is now the 20th oldest person to have lived; the oldest person on the list is Jeanne Calment of France, who passed away in 1997 at the age of 122.
According to Ms. Canabarro, her Catholic religion is the key to her longevity.
The nun was making jokes, performing the Hail Mary rosary, and showing little drawings she used to create of natural flowers in a video that LongeviQuest posted last year.
She told guests at her retirement home in Porto Alegre, in southern Brazil, “I’m young, pretty, and friendly – all very good, positive qualities that you have too.”
