In Miercurea Ciuc, more than 3,500 people attended the traditional food consecration on Easter Sunday in strict adherence to anti-epidemic regulations.
According to a report by the Agerpres news agency, the city’s mayor’s office allowed this year to consecrate food not only in the square in front of the administrative palace, but also in the avenue that runs through the square. Therefore, families could line up following the distance required by the epidemic and wait for the priests conducting the liturgy to consecrate their Easter meals.
As can be seen in the short film published on the Székelyhon.ro portal, most of the families packed the food they brought to the consecration in a wicker basket, and many dressed in typical costumes for the ceremony. The priests had to travel several kilometers while passing in front of everyone and sprinkling each basket with holy water.Romanian Health Minister Vlad Voiculescu cited the disciplined consecration of food at Miercurea Ciuc as a positive example in a statement on Sunday.
I was moved by the images of Miercurea Ciuc, with the faithful celebrating Easter, which also expressed their sense of responsibility and solidarity. Congratulations to the organizers and participants! – He said.
In Miercurea Ciuc on Sunday, the proportion of new infections registered per thousand inhabitants in the last two weeks was 2.36. The number is below the national average.
