People across the globe are celebrating one of the jolliest times in the Christian calendar

This year’s church services and events, however, are being attended by little to no one in public places, churches included, because of the coronavirus outbreak. Social distancing and wearing masks are the new normal to help the curb of COVID-19 and must be adhered to.

Christmas Day is celebrated by western churches on 25 December but by eastern churches on 7 January.
