For Catholics, the upcoming week is one of the most holy in their religious calendar. Starting with Palm Sunday, when palm branches are distributed in the church, the week leads up to Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and finally, Easter. It's the time, when attending mass becomes the most important part of their routine. Yet, this year, Catholic devotees have found themselves in a difficult situation. For a better part of the Lent season, the period of 40-day abstinence that began on February 26, they've been at home. And the Holy Week is not going to be any different. Yet, prayers, as they say, need to continue.

Earlier this week, the Archdiocese of Bombay, announced the live streaming of Holy week services at the Cathedral of Holy Name, Colaba. Archbishop of Bombay Cardinal Oswald Gracias has, in fact, been celebrating mass daily since the lockdown, and it is being live streamed for devotees, many of whom feel the need to turn to religion, since the Coronavirus outbreak.
