Stay and Pray
This is an important time for people of many faiths. The way we will have to celebrate Easter and Passover will be different this year, but honoring these traditions are no less important. We all have a role to play in protecting those we share our homes with, those we share our places of worship with, and those we share our communities with.
We can: · Take advantage of the ability to participate in services that are available online or on television. · Continue family traditions through video chat or phone calls. · Cook traditional foods to enjoy the familiar tastes and smells of the holiday. · Celebrate in person with those that live with us.
What we should avoid doing: · Attending any in-person worship service. · Congregating in public areas. · Inviting others to celebrate at our home. · Attending a celebration outside of our homes.
