Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison, in his message to the Orthodox faithful for Easter, stressed that “…During a time of great challenge for the world, we will celebrate Easter not in our churches, but in our homes away from our congregations.
“This Easter has a poignancy, with families separated and our traditions interrupted. We are distancing ourselves from each other this year, so that next year and beyond, our families and congregations can gather again… At a time like this, when so much is being asked of us, the story of Christ’s sacrifice and resurrection serves as a source of strength and hope.”
