BOSTON (AP) The Easter and Passover holidays were accompanied Sunday by more relaxed restrictions on houses of worship and gatherings in New England, along with worries about the spread of COVID-19.
Many houses of worship required congregants to RSVP for a limited number of in-person service seats. Others held outdoor ceremonies. And, as has been the case throughout the pandemic, many had online services through Zoom, Facebook or YouTube.
Bishop Thomas Brown of the Episcopal Diocese of Maine said the Easter holiday felt different from last year. People now have a better understanding of the pandemic and they see light at the end of the tunnel as more people get vaccinated.

Fresh off the heels of his visit to Iowa last week, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo made a virtual visit to the Granite State on Monday night. He was the special guest at a fundraiser for Bill Boyd, who is running to succeed the late Speaker Dick Hinch in the state House.
Pompeo s trip to Iowa was the first to the early voting state by any of the prospective GOP POTUS candidates. His virtual visit to New Hampshire adds fuel to the fire in speculation that he plans to make a run himself. Assuming, that is, former President Donald Trump doesn t throw his hat into the ring.
