the direct translation of suvaco do cristo is
'christ's armpit', which certainly sounds a little strange but
the name simply refers to the geological location of the block's
headquarters: beneath the right arm of rio de janiero's famous
statue of
christ the redeemer on
corcovado mountain within the
tijuca forest.
in the past the catholic church have voiced their
disagreement with the name believing it to be disrespectful to their
beliefs but alas, it remains.
