Reply to comment by jeanleonino in TIL that during the Edo period in Japan Catholicism was outlawed and groups of Japanese catholics had secret rooms in their houses and they made statues of the Virgin Mary and other saints that would look like Buddhist statues by jeanleonino

Isn’t America two continents?

Depends. It's more generally accepted there's South and North America.

But here in Latin America you may also learn - depending where you are - that there's also Central America (between Mexico and South America).

If you look at tectonic plates, there's a Caribbean plate that covers most of Central America as well. But given its size most places will say there's only Central and South America. Even Enciclopedia Britannica
