Despite the spread of the coronavirus and the request of the authorities to pray at home in Georgia good Friday is celebrated in churches
In Georgia, despite the coronavirus pandemic raging around the world, services continue.
The Georgian Orthodox Church observes Great Friday or Good Friday — the penultimate and most strict day of Lent – the day when Jesus Christ was martyred on the Cross to atone for human sins.
In Georgia, the day of mourning and remembrance is declared a holiday for all believers.
On Good Friday, there are no liturgies served in any of the Christian denominations - in the Cathedral of the most Holy Trinity - Sameba, as in all other Orthodox churches in the country, services will be held to commemorate the sufferings of the Savior on the cross, described in detail in all four Gospels.
In Georgia, despite the coronavirus pandemic raging around the world, services continue. The Patriarchate previously said that all services in the country will be conducted in accordance with the recommendations of the National center for disease control.
Despite this, the Georgian authorities, due to the threat of the spread of coronavirus, urge the country's population to pray at home, including on Easter night, as it is difficult to maintain social distance in public places - the only method of combating coronavirus in the world today.
The authorities backed up their requests to stay at home on Thursday with effective measures. In particular, from April 17, from 12:00 until the end of the state of emergency on April 21, a complete ban on the movement of cars is introduced.
