Ethiopian Church is not temporarily closing but it has made several adjustments to continue to provide service in a way that protects the faithful from the COVID 19 pandemic. During Passion Week, Ethiopian Church has the tradition of commemorating every single tribulation of Jesus Christ. Washing hands before entering the church, whenever necessary, and standing sparsely in the church during church mass are also part of the measures that the Holy Synod introduced. For those who receive communion during the mass service, it will be given in three categories of age groups – Children, Youth, and Elders. Moreover, the Holy Synod of the Ethiopian Church warned not to attack or insult foreigners, and to care for the vulnerable and the needy.
