“They thought that by closing the churches they would stop the
virus...Lord have mercy! Is this the first outbreak of a virus? From
what I know, during epidemics the churches are open day and night and
the Liturgy is offered nonstop. Some have attempted to create doubt
about Holy Communion, that it can impart infection. Do you know what is
the Divine Liturgy? The Body and Blood of the Resurrected Christ. Do you
know of a God who defeats death but transmits sicknesses? And there are
Hierarchs who tell you to change the lavida (spoon) and to dip it in disinfectant. . . God forbid!”
