Abune Mathias, the 6th Patriarch of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, uses hand sanitizer, to curb the spread of the new coronavirus, during an Orthodox Good Friday service at the Holy Trinity Cathedral in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia Friday, April 17, 2020. For Orthodox Christians, this is normally a time of reflection and communal mourning followed by joyful release, of centuries-old ceremonies steeped in symbolism and tradition. But this year, Easter – by far the most significant religious holiday for the world's roughly 300 million Orthodox – has essentially been canceled. (Photo by Mulugeta Ayene/AP Photo)
