Virus Outbreak Turkey Orthodox Easter

Apr 17, 2020

In this Thursday, April 16, 2020 photo, priests participate in the Procession of the Crucifix during Orthodox Easter Week services performed without worshippers to help contain the spread of the coronavirus at the Patriarchal Church of St. George in Istanbul. For Orthodox Christians, this is normally a time of reflection and joy, of centuries-old ceremonies steeped in symbolism and tradition, but this year, the public celebration of Easter has essentially been canceled.
