Paschal Candle Is Lit In Memory Of Victims Of Coronavirus At York Minster

YORK, ENGLAND - MAY 14: Canon Maggie McLean, the Canon Missioner at York Minster, lights the Paschal Candle, a Christian symbol of Christ rising from the empty tomb on the first Easter Day, in York Minster's Lady Chapel on May 14, 2020 in York, England. Following an announcement by the House of Bishops last week, clergy can now re-enter churches and cathedrals to pray, which had been precluded under Covid-19 lockdown measures. York Minster have launched a new initiative for worshipers to email a request for their loved one to be remembered in a prayer that will be said by clergy at the Paschal Candle. The Paschal Candle would normally have burned continually throughout the Easter season until the Feast of Pentecost, 50 days later. (Photo by Ian Forsyth/Getty Images)
