The deepest liturgical period this year in Romania corresponded to the state of emergency due to the spread of the new Coronavirus. In the first phase, it was forbidden to officiate services in closed spaces, then the participation of the faithful was not allowed at all in the divine worship.
The pain was all the greater as the panic and fear of illness could not be alleviated even near the walls of the church.
These experiences provided memorable images that are worth reviewing at any time.
