Eastern rite Christians celebrated the main holiday – the Holy Resurrection of Christ or Easter – in strict quarantine. Although this day was called to spend at home, some believers went to church to sanctify Easter baskets. This was done in compliance with the rules of social distance and taking into account the prohibition of mass events.
