Easter, one of the great feasts of Christianity, is usually celebrated with family and friends.
It’s associated with the mystical reverence of walking around the streets in a candlelit epitaph procession and egg-cracking joy. This year, however, we will need to adapt to a different type of Easter, quieter but meaningful nonetheless.
Our houses will still smell of delicious Easter aromas and culinary delights, but we will facetime our loved ones and participate in Easter services livestreamed from the comfort of our own homes.
We’ll light candles of hope, though they won’t flicker with the light of the Holy Flame which travels every year round the world from Jerusalem.

We’ll pray, because prayer is more necessary than ever, but we will also philosophise and truly appreciate all the things we’ve always taken for granted and thought to be normal.
It will be a different Easter, but a meaningful one nonetheless.
