Sunday marks the second consecutive Easter amid the coronavirus disease (Covid-19) pandemic and celebrations on the occasion throughout the world will be muted. Pope Francis, who led the Easter vigil service on Saturday, said that he hoped that the dark times of the pandemic would end and that people will rediscover “the grace of everyday life” during these times.
