ORLANDO, Fla. – Churches across Central Florida are preparing to hold Easter Sunday services in very nontraditional ways due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
During a news conference Thursday, Gov. Ron DeSantis stressed that the state will not close any place of worship, but he stressed the importance of following social distance guidelines. "As you keep God close during these important religious days, make sure you continue to keep COVID-19 away," DeSantis said.
In recent weeks, many religious organizations have transitioned to digital platforms. The Catholic Diocese of Orlando has posted a list of parishes that livestream their services.
