Cuba is experiencing a severe electricity crisis resulting in frequent power outages nationwide. These outages have now impacted religious practices, with several priests reporting instructions to ration communion wafers—the hostias—used to represent the body of Christ during Mass. The rationing is a direct consequence of the unreliable power supply needed for wafer production and preservation. This unprecedented measure highlights the escalating impact of the energy shortfall on daily life and essential services, extending beyond households to religious institutions. The situation underscores the broader economic challenges facing Cuba, which has struggled with shortages of food, medicine, and fuel. Church officials have not yet issued a formal statement regarding the rationing, but confirmed reports indicate the practice is underway in multiple parishes. The power cuts are attributed to aging infrastructure and a lack of investment in maintenance and upgrades.
