Patriarch Irinej called on believers to accept the recommendations of medical professionals and the upcoming Easter in the Julian calendar of celebrations in their homes.
He recalled that Easter this year is celebrated in “special conditions” and said that it is possible to implement measures of social distance in churches, but added that the SOC accepts and will respect the “attitude of people who are instructed in the matter and matter” about the coronavirus infection .
“It is nice to come to church on big holidays, but this is an exceptional moment in our lives. It is better to direct your thoughts, desires and your heart towards the church than to be in church, and I don’t know what else to think. Of course. all this will pass, so we will pray to God both in our home and in the churches, “the patriarch said in an interview with Blic.
Believers honoring the Julian calendar celebrate Easter on Sunday 19 April.Easter is marked in Serbia this year in extraordinary circumstances by the coronavirus pandemic.Citizens are now allowed to move in until 5pm, when the curfew will begin, which will continue until 5am on Tuesday.
