White House Easter Egg roll canceled for second year because of pandemic/Yahoo News
Sunday will mark the second Easter holiday Americans will have celebrated during a pandemic. Easter is traditionally celebrated by attending church, gathering with family and friends, participating in egg hunts, giving or receiving Easter baskets, and enjoying a feast with family or community. With Easter being such a social holiday, it s logical to wonder what a socially distanced Easter may look like in a pandemic.
“Before the pandemic, Easter was a holiday for the whole community,” said Rhonda McClain, while shopping for Easter supplies in a Brandywine, Maryland Target store. “We all came together to celebrate and we can t do that anymore without being afraid of getting sick. We still have our families, but it won t be the same as before. A little less joyful.”
