Photo Story: Holy Week during the pandemic

A clergyman carrying a cross speaks during the Way of the Cross on Palm Sunday in the center of Zakopane, Poland 05 April 2020.

The procession took place without the participation of the faithful this year. During the Way of the Cross, the priests prayed for the ongoing pandemic of the COVID-19 disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus to cease.

Palm Sunday for Christians around the world marks the biblical account of the entry of Jesus Christ into Jerusalem, signalling the start of the Holy Week leading to Easter Sunday.
