More DescriptionSeventh-day Adventists are among the fastest-growing and most widespread Christian denominations worldwide. Their characteristic features are not only the observation of the Sabbath and the imminent expectation of the Second Coming of Christ, but also a specific lifestyle orientated towards health and longevity.
