Easter will be celebrated this Sunday (April 18th) on the Eastern Christian calendar and Georgia's church is planning major celebrations which health officials say could lead to many more coronavirus deaths.
Earlier this week, the Prime Minister and the church struck a deal to allow Easter services to be held but with some precautions to protect churchgoers from Covid-19, such as social distancing.
However, footage filmed at Holy Trinity Cathedral in Tblisi on Saturday (April 17th) showed ceremonies already underway with clergymen largely failing to observe social distancing, although parishioners could be seen standing apart.
