Churches across the country are canceling their Christmas masses as a surge of COVID-19 cases grips the nation, The Associated Press reports.
Among the well-known churches that have decided to nix their annual gatherings are the Washington National Cathedral in Washington, D.C.; Boston's Old South Church; and the St. John the Divine, the cathedral of the Episcopal Diocese of New York.

DC, Boston, New York. Figures.
And we had it.
We have a great deal to be thankful for this year.
Merry Christmas to all.
No wonder so many people have such contempt for churches, and for organized religion in general.
Five-letter word beginning with “P”.
O-my-CON was the CCP’s offensive to cancel Christmas—AGAIN!
And the “keep everyone safe” fearbros were played—AGAIN!
Oh for godsake. Literally.
Merry Christmas!
Oh yeah of little faith.
And we had it.
As we did.
Traditional Greek Orthodox--more people Communing from the Chalice on the common spoon any time since Pascha.
Probably less than 1/4 of the folks wore masks--voluntarily, of course.
We believe, we trust, and we confess the Angels' message:
"FEAR NOT!"
All far-left churches.
We attended a beautiful service, at our church, with all of our family. Saw many friends.
How sad for folks to miss out.
I had Christmas Eve services at my little country Church tonight.
Let’s be real. These churches were just looking for a reason not to meet. My church had two services, the first of which was live-streamed on our YouTube channel. Teaching the gospel on Christmas Eve is still possible, *even* in this ridiculous COVID era. Shocking, I know!!
The world has been infected with a virus, not called Covid, but called “co-demented”. The sheer stupidity and absurdity knows no bounds.
However, these same people will venture out to stores and restaurants, yet somehow their churches are “unsafe.”
They love dividing people
And also turning groups opposed to them into scapegoats to take the focus off of them
Aka
Dont let the unvaxxed come to your family Christmas gathering
My family attended the Christmas Eve vigil Mass at our parish. It was lovely and well attended. They had three masses today/tonight, and I believe three more tomorrow. Masks are voluntary and I saw only a handful.
Plenty of places to worship around Dallas. Be careful if Catholic, however, as the priest may call the cops on you. Might be better off heading to a protestant church.
Proud to say the original dioscese of America, the Basillica in Baltimore, is still holding its masses.
Attended a service with my son and his wife at a very large church in north Texas. Not a mask in the place. It was very nice (and normal).
