CNS photo/Rhina Guidos El Salvador turns to Romero in difficult time By  Rhina Guidos, Catholic News Service April 3, 2021 SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador  COVID-19 put a damper on last year’s celebrations to mark the 40th anniversary of St. Oscar Romero’s martyrdom, but a continuing pandemic couldn’t stop this year’s festivities. Symposiums, concerts, theatre pieces and even international pilgrimages to remember St. Romero came to a halt when the country abruptly shut down its airport March 17, 2020, just days before the March 24 celebration of the Salvadoran saint. In an effort to keep out the coronavirus, the president put the country on lockdown, closing almost all buildings, including churches, in the predominantly Christian nation.
