The Diocese of Owensboro is encouraging Catholics to decorate their houses with "Easter lights" as a sign of solidarity and as a reminder that through Christ's resurrection, "the light has come into our world and has conquered even death."
"Though it is not possible for Catholics of our diocese to gather in our parish churches for the celebration of the Easter Vigil, we can still be united in our prayer," an April 3 announcement from the diocese reads.
The Owensboro diocese suspended public Masses March 16 in response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
"Many across our state and nation are putting up 'Easter lights' as a sign of solidarity during this time, so we invite all Catholics of Western Kentucky to engage in this project meant to communicate faith and hope to our neighbors and be a sign of encouragement and support to all who are suffering."
