His Beatitude Mar Yako Daniel, Metropolitan of the Ancient Church of the East, presiding over the Diocese of Australia, New Zealand delivers his message about the celebration of the holy week of palm and Easter Sundays.
He says the church had to follow the government’s advice to close churches to worshipers during the COVID-19 Pandemic and it is the safest thing to do to prevent the spread of the virus.
Asked if this gate closing has affected the income of the church? He asserted that, it has impacted our finances for a certain degree, but many of the church’s faithfuls have been donating money through the churches’ account and the church is thankful for that. He also quoted a verse from the Bible "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds. out of the mouth of God". referring to that the need of spiritual matters are more important than money matters
HB Mar Yako Daniel talked about the Palm Sunday and Easter services and how they will be cast over the social media and specifically through facebook.
