But this year, Easter, by far the most significant religious holiday for the world's roughly 300 million Orthodox, has essentially been cancelled in a world locked down by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Per gli ortodossi spesso la Pasqua non cade lo stesso giorno dei cattolici, ma la prima domenica dopo l’equinozio di primavera, quindi si festeggia questa domenica. Anche a Istanbul la Via Crucis del patriarca ecumenico Bartolomeo I si è tenuta senza fedeli per contenere i contagi da Covid-19. Nel caso di queste cerimonie secolari in cui la celebrazione e le liturgie si protraggono per tutta la notte e sono intrise di simboli e tradizioni, fa ancora più effetto notare l’assenza del popolo.
