This Sunday, many Manitobans will be celebrating Easter according to the Julian calendar.
Father Brent Kuzyk, with St. George’s Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Dauphin, says due to the recently tightened COVID-19 orders, the celebration will be limited.
“Unfortunately the COVID guidelines restrict me to having ten faithful in the church proper plus those that are needed to serve, like myself and those serving in the altar with me.”
The church’s Holy Week services began Wednesday evening and will continue every day up until Sunday.
Father Kuzyk says those that can’t make it in person have many online options to celebrate this weekend.
“Across Canada, there are livestream services on the internet through different Orthodox churches so people can be at home. There are livestream Paschal services as well as regular services during the week and Sunday services throughout the year so they certainly can be there.”
The Ukrainian Catholic Church of the Resurrection in Dauphin will hold their Easter service of worship broadcasted on 730 CKDM beginning at 10:30 a.m.
