Corona Crisis: For the first time in history, Pope celebrated Holy Week alone
Vatican City. Due to the coronovirus epidemic, Pope Francis celebrated Palm Sunday alone for the first time at St. Peters Basilica. This has happened for the first time in history. According to the report, Holy Week, an important religious festival, began on Sunday in the Catholic calendar, which was not held this time in Vatican Square like every time. At the same time, the congregation of people also did not attend the ceremony.
However, in the wake of the Kovid-19 pandemic, millions of people living in isolation across the world participated in prayer meetings through the Internet, radio and television. During this time the Pope said, the tragedy we are facing is asking us to take those things seriously, which is really serious and should not be underestimated. It needs to be understood again that if there is no service to others, then there is no use in life. Life is measured by love.
During this time a small group of people were present with the clergy for the service, who were keeping a safe distance from each other. Precautionary measures have been strictly taken in the Vatican after more than 1.2 million people worldwide were infected and 66,500 people died from it.
It is worth noting that 128,948 confirmed cases have been reported in Italy and 15,887 deaths have been reported due to Kovid-19, which is the highest from any country around the world.
