BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS were held for the oldest woman in Europe, Maria de Jesus, who turned 115 on September 10.
Maria, from Corujo, Tomar in central Portugal, is the second oldest woman in the world after Edna Parker from the US, who turned 115 in April this year.
Maria Madalena, Maria de Jesus’ daughter, told reporters that her mother’s longevity was due to eating healthy food, working hard and living frugally.
