coronavirus has meant that many
traditional ways of celebrating our
faith together and not safe right now
and this April that is going to be
particularly challenging this month
holds some of the most important events
in the religious calendar including
Passover for Jews Easter for Christians
by sucky for Sikhs and the start of
Ramadan for Muslims so you can see here
I'm using zoom to show the pyramids of
Egypt Passover is where we remember when
the Jewish people were slaves in Egypt
and how they escaped and it can change
the background as you're telling the
story of Passover to show the plagues of
Egypt and then you can show parting the
Red Sea because you're doing a virtual
Seder you have no constraints on
geography or size of table we're
actually using this opportunity to
recreate the family Seder as we used to
have as a kid sunday is Easter when we
Christians celebrate the resurrection of
Jesus Christ go for a walk outside if
that's allowed where you live look
around the world where you lived and see
where hope is greater than despair my
other tip is to sing loudly you're in
your own home no one can hear you and
one recent Sunday my husband looked at
me and goes I never knew you were that
bad at singing but this is the time no
one can hear you except your loved ones
sing out this is the celebration of the
creation of the concert share the story
of the sake
music through our how you can still
uphold you sever your selfless service
it's a way that you can still be
contributing to London a community
kitchen free the charities that might be
in your area Ramadan is the holy month
in the Islamic calendar where Muslims
are fasting use video software talk with
your friends see them eat together pray
together read Quran together however if
you do decide to pray with your friends
think of mindful mutti which is to mute
your mic so your prayers aren't
distracted the prayers of everyone else
inside your group start a tick-tock
challenge my friends and I are doing a
tick-tock challenge called past a date
so it's similar to the don't rush
challenge except instead of passing a
makeup brush we'll be making sure on
like a little prayer eating a date and
passing it to the next person in the
video check your privacy settings make
sure that you your friends and your
family can enjoy the celebration without
any unwanted intruders
