Churchgoers were advised to avoid hand contact and receive the Eucharist, which symbolizes the body of Jesus Christ, in the hand instead of the mouth.

Correction: In Catholic teaching, the Eucharist does not symbolize the body of Christ.

According to Catholic teaching, it IS the body of Christ.

Figures are so far from being up to date by now.

Going to your religious activity is the same as doing any non-essential activity.

So why talk about it ?

Are they going to make an article for all exhibitions or events to take place ?
