Patriarch Bartholomew I

Apr 18, 2020

Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I, left, the spiritual leader of the world's Orthodox Christians, leads the service for the Resurrection of Christ during Orthodox Easter Week services, held without worshippers to help contain the spread of the coronavirus at the Patriarchal Church of St. George in Istanbul, early Sunday, April 19, 2020. For Orthodox Christians, this is normally a time of reflection and joy, of centuries-old ceremonies steeped in symbolism and tradition. But this year, Easter, by far the most significant religious holiday for the world's roughly 300 million Orthodox, has essentially been cancelled in a world locked down by the COVID-19 pandemic.
