LIVE Resurrection Service – Catholic Easter 2021

Catholic Easter, celebrated a month before Orthodox Easter, is marked for the second year in a row by anti-COVID restrictions.

The services are officiated in compliance with current sanitary measures – use of a mask and physical distance.

“The correct use of a protective mask, covering the mouth and nose, remains mandatory in public spaces, including places of worship during religious services,” authorities said.

The access of believers to places of worship or other places where religious meetings or processions are held “will be done in such a way as to ensure an area of ​​at least 4 square meters for each person and a distance of 2 meters between people”, authorities said.

Traffic restrictions are in force throughout Romania. When the contagion rate is less than 4 per thousand inhabitants, people cannot leave the house without good reason, after 10 pm. When the rate is higher than 4, on weekends, the night quarantine begins at 8:00 p.m. And when the rate exceeds 7.5 nights, the quarantine from 20.00 will apply every day of the week.

Catholics who did not show up to church on Easter night were able to attend the online service.

In the Cathedral of San José in the Capital, the Holy Liturgy of the Resurrection of the Lord began at 11:00 p.m.

More than 10,000 police officers are working across the country to ensure public order and peace during Catholic Easter, authorities said.

Catholic Easter is marked by restrictions and quarantine throughout Europe.
