Churches reopening to celebrate Easter with in-person services
Other churches are taking similar strides toward normalcy this Easter as they open for in-person services Sunday to celebrate the biblical story of the resurrection of Jesus.
A national Pew Research Center study released March 22 found that American religious life is showing signs of slowly returning to normal. About 75% of adults who typically attend services are very or somewhat confident that they can do it safely, without getting the virus, according to the study.
While the study shows more people are attending in person or are at least willing to the numbers still aren t completely back to what they were before COVID-19, according to Pew. About 40% of Christians plan to go to Easter services in person this year, compared to the 62% who typically go to church on the holiday.
