COVID-19 forces grandchildren to stay away from their grandparents this Orthodox Easter

Easter 2020 will be remembered as a time of unprecedented isolation and loneliness for many Orthodox worshippers. COVID-19 restrictions will prevent extended families from coming together for church prayers and the annual feast at home. Elderly relatives are heartbroken they'll be missing out on the joy of being with their much loved grandchildren this year.
