It is sometimes easy in the contemporary world for Christians to forget the meaning of their deepest rituals. In these corona times, when we can’t practice them and we miss them, maybe this is the perfect opportunity to think about why these rituals are significant.
In reality, the rituals are not the thing. They are carefully and richly elaborated reminders of the thing. The thing, now, is the efforts of the medical, health care, EMTs and public servants risking their lives every day in these corona times.
Christian rituals are a powerful reminder that crucifixions and resurrections happen every day.
Have a holy season.
