Lublin, Poland, Mar 19, 2020 / 18:03 pm
A Polish priest processed throughout the neighborhood of his parish encouraging quarantined parishioners to join him in prayer from their windows.
Father Miroslaw Matuszny, a priest of the Parish of the Conversion of St. Paul, carried a relic of Saint Anthony near his church in east Lublin on Tuesday evening.
As Poland has limited gatherings to 50 people or less, effectively shutting down Mass in some areas of Poland, he encouraged local churchgoers to light candles and pray with him from their windows.
"This is an unusual situation...I want to pray in this way not only for the coronavirus to go away but also against the danger of people losing their faith," Matuszny told Reuters.
