Easter celebrations have been
confirmed on April 12 but Pope Francis will not do the
traditional feet-washing ceremony in memory of Jesus and his
disciples on Holy Thursday, the Prefect for the Divine Cult and
Discipline of the Sacraments, Cardinal Robert Sarah, announced
on Twitter on Friday.
Easter processions and other "expressions of popular piety"
will be postponed to "other convenient dates, e.g. September
14-15" he said.
The measures have been taken in a decree entitled At the Time
of COVID-19, the cardinal said.
