Last year, many Easter services were canceled or moved online due to COVID-19. Now that vaccines are available, churches are hoping to have a more normal celebration this year.
Easter, a major day of celebration for Christians worldwide, is about more than candy and Easter eggs.
âThatâs the day that we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. He rose from the dead,â explained Rev. Hallie Tolbert, pastor of Westside Baptist Church in Killeen.
When COVID-19 first hit, the state shut down in an effort to slow the spread. Governor Greg Abbott allowed churches to remain open, but many decided to close or change their in-person services, including Easter Sunday services.
