Churches, synagogues, and mosques are closing to contain the coronavirus global pandemic, as religious leaders are bending holy rules while families create new rituals that respect social distancing, the Yahoo News website reports today (March 31, 2020).
Public celebrations for Holy Week festivities -- including Palm Sunday, Holy Thursday, and Good Friday -- will pivot to livestream.
And considering the rapidly evolving situation of the pandemic, a Vatican decree called "In time of COVID-19" outlines resources to amend April holidays, including Easter.
Some churches are holding "drive-thru" services and the Catholic Church is permitting the consumption of meat on Fridays during Lent, except on Good Friday.
