Álvaro Thais (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈawvɐɾu ˈtajs]; March 22, 1948) is a Brazilian astrologer,[1] better known as Inri Cristo (pronounced [ˈĩʁi ˈkɾistu]) who claims to be the reincarnation of Jesus.[2] He later moved to Curitiba, where he became famous as a persona in comedy television programs, getting to participate in a widely circulated advertising campaign.[3][4][5]

Inri Cristo regularly participates in lively debates with religious figures, such as priest Óscar González-Quevedo (whom Álvaro claims to have been the reincarnation of the Spanish Inquisitor Tomás de Torquemada), and also appears in interviews and comedy shows. He has made provocative statements about evolutionism and vegetarianism.[6]
