Lauren Dugan reports on the churches adjusting to coronavirus stay-at-home orders CENTER CITY - Palm Sunday 2020, many Christians watched services from the palm of their hand, through a phone or computer, but that doesn’t make the start of Holy Week any less significant.
Some say the COVID-19 pandemic has taught them faith is the most important thing they have. Philadelphia Archbishop Nelsen Perez celebrated Palm Sunday for the first time in front of empty pews.
Music played in the Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul for an audience that was there in spirit. With many watching virtually, he said the church cannot be contained by the walls of the building.
